WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
 Worldview is the comprehensive perception of reality, right?

00:00:04.259 --> 00:00:07.400
 We try to figure out how humanity relates to the rest of the world.

00:00:08.060 --> 00:00:11.019
 And every worldview has to answer three fundamental questions.

00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:13.280
 One is, how are things supposed to be?

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:14.500
 What's the ideal state?

00:00:15.259 --> 00:00:18.480
 And secondly, what is the main problem with the way things are?

00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:22.100
 And thirdly, what is the solution and how can it be reached?

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:30.140
 For example, Plato and much of Greek thought that the main problem with the world was the body, the material things.

00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:36.640
 And so they encouraged philosophy and the cultivation of virtue as a way to transcend the material universe.

00:00:37.579 --> 00:00:43.939
 Karl Marx blames unjust economic systems and class struggles for the world's ills.

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:47.560
 And so to him, the solution was the communist state.

00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:55.740
 Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the romanticists thought that the problem in society was industrialization, technology.

00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:01.520
 And so their solution was to return to art, to nature, and to primitive freedom.

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:06.060
 And nowadays, what's popular is it's the worldview of the Silicon Valley,

00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:12.520
 who believes that the power of technology, they believe in the power of technology to solve all social ills.

00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:22.519
 But philosopher Leslie Stevenson, who teaches in the UK, in his classic introduction to the Western worldviews,

00:01:22.679 --> 00:01:29.659
 entitled Seven Theories of Human Nature, makes a really insightful observation that sets Christianity apart from the other worldviews.

00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:30.099
 And he writes,

00:01:30.099 --> 00:01:49.099
 So then in locating the fundamental problem of humanity in the relationship with God,

00:01:50.099 --> 00:01:52.459
 the disruption of our relationship with God,

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.560
 and offering a solution not by just what we can do to solve it,

00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.420
 but what God has done, the initiative he has taken to solve it,

00:01:59.740 --> 00:02:05.140
 Christianity, the Bible, offers an answer that's unique to those three questions.

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.820
 And we found out the answer to the first question,

00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:10.460
 how are things supposed to be, what's the ideal state, last week.

00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:16.120
 We were created for worship, which entails our work, and for relationship with God.

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.060
 And then now today we find here in this passage the answers to the second and third questions.

00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:24.980
 What is the main problem with the way things are, and what is the solution, and how can it be realized?

00:02:24.979 --> 00:02:31.679
 And Genesis 3 teaches us the world is disordered by our sinful rebellion.

00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:40.500
 And we can reorder our worship of God and relationship with the world only by believing in Jesus Christ.

00:02:41.399 --> 00:02:43.759
 And so you're going to talk about that in three phases.

00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:48.159
 We'll talk about first the character of sin, then the consequences of sin,

00:02:48.359 --> 00:02:52.839
 and third the cure for sin, the character, consequences, and the cure.

00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.340
 Verse 1 begins ominously.

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.920
 Now, the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.300
 I'll explain the identity of the serpent more clearly later,

00:03:08.420 --> 00:03:11.240
 but for now it's important to note that it's an actual serpent.

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:11.879
 It's a snake.

00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:17.939
 That's why it says the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:21.020
 So this is a serpent, a snake that the Lord God had made.

00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.979
 And this crafted serpent approaches the woman and says to her,

00:03:26.539 --> 00:03:31.099
 Did God actually say, You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?

00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:34.919
 But there's a, it seems like an innocent question at first,

00:03:35.019 --> 00:03:36.939
 but there's sinister intent there, right?

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.620
 Because what God actually said in chapter 2, 16, 17 was,

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.139
 You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,

00:03:45.299 --> 00:03:48.299
 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat,

00:03:48.379 --> 00:03:50.680
 for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.099
 But the serpent, you know, shrewdly and subversively phrases that question

00:03:55.099 --> 00:03:59.139
 in a way that makes God look stingy and, you know, stringent, right?

00:03:59.699 --> 00:04:03.319
 He says, Did God actually say you shall not eat of any tree in the garden?

00:04:04.139 --> 00:04:07.099
 And as the Bible commentator Gordon Wenham puts it,

00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:11.459
 it's a total travesty of God's original generous permission.

00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:13.079
 He said, Here's all of it.

00:04:13.099 --> 00:04:15.219
 You can have it all, except for that one thing.

00:04:15.299 --> 00:04:18.019
 But Satan makes it seem like, No, he told you not to have anything.

00:04:18.019 --> 00:04:26.519
 And so, not only that, and serpent uses a word for God.

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.680
 So, previous to this, all the references to God in chapter 2

00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.180
 refer to God as the Lord God.

00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:36.240
 So, not just the generic God, but the Lord God,

00:04:36.299 --> 00:04:39.519
 referring to his covenant name, which points to his relationship,

00:04:39.859 --> 00:04:41.479
 covenant relationship with Adam and Eve.

00:04:41.939 --> 00:04:44.979
 But the serpent surely avoids that reference

00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:48.000
 and simply calls him God, the generic God,

00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:51.300
 the distant God, the creator that doesn't really care about you,

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:52.520
 that God, he says.

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.160
 So, the God, did God actually say to you,

00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.120
 You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?

00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.100
 And in verses 2 to 3, Eve does correct the serpent,

00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:07.920
 but not precisely and not fully.

00:05:08.460 --> 00:05:12.700
 She says, We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden,

00:05:12.699 --> 00:05:15.719
 but God said, You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree

00:05:15.719 --> 00:05:17.719
 that is in the midst of the garden,

00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.459
 neither shall you touch it, lest you die.

00:05:21.699 --> 00:05:24.180
 So, first, God had said,

00:05:24.339 --> 00:05:27.620
 You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.219
 but Eve kind of waters down that emphatically generous provision of God.

00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:32.839
 So, she doesn't mention that God said,

00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.180
 Surely eat of every tree.

00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:39.500
 And secondly, Eve adapts the serpent's distant way of referring to God.

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:41.100
 She doesn't say, Lord God.

00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:42.240
 She says, God.

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:48.019
 And then third, there is a troubling ambiguity in Eve's summary of God's prohibition.

00:05:48.420 --> 00:05:51.800
 Because she says that God told them not to eat of the fruit of the tree

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.600
 that is in the midst of the garden.

00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:56.259
 But in chapter 2, verse 9,

00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.500
 he told us that both the tree of life

00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:00.399
 and the tree of knowledge of good and evil

00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:01.680
 are in the midst of the garden.

00:06:01.939 --> 00:06:03.339
 So, which tree is she talking about?

00:06:04.099 --> 00:06:06.479
 Maybe she thinks God prohibited both of them,

00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:09.579
 everything, all the tree in the garden, from them.

00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:11.099
 And then fourth,

00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.179
 and this is the most alarming of everything that Eve changes in this passage,

00:06:16.719 --> 00:06:19.779
 she adds an additional element to God's prohibition.

00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:20.559
 It says,

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.279
 Neither shall you touch it, lest you die.

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:27.620
 God had mentioned nothing about touching the tree.

00:06:28.059 --> 00:06:29.639
 There's no problem with touching the tree.

00:06:29.719 --> 00:06:31.059
 He just said to don't eat of it.

00:06:31.060 --> 00:06:33.160
 But Eve adds to God's law,

00:06:33.259 --> 00:06:35.540
 and in doing so, actually subtracts from it.

00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:38.720
 And you can see that in saying that,

00:06:38.740 --> 00:06:40.980
 she's already adopting the serpent's attitude,

00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:44.959
 thinking that God's harsh, repressive, stringent.

00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:49.139
 Instead of acknowledging his generosity,

00:06:49.540 --> 00:06:50.980
 oh, this distant God, he says,

00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:52.060
 you can't even touch it.

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:53.300
 Don't even touch the tree.

00:06:53.300 --> 00:07:02.400
 So, you can kind of anticipate what's going to happen after Eve's response.

00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:08.080
 And so, having definitely shifted Eve's attention from appreciating God's provision

00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:09.300
 to doubting his provision,

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.720
 he goes directly to impugn God's motives in verse 4.

00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:14.860
 But the serpent said to the woman,

00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.440
 You will not surely die,

00:07:18.340 --> 00:07:20.860
 for God knows that when you eat of it,

00:07:20.980 --> 00:07:22.520
 your eyes will be opened,

00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:24.660
 and you will be like God,

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.180
 knowing good and evil.

00:07:29.320 --> 00:07:30.200
 God said,

00:07:30.320 --> 00:07:32.400
 you will surely die when you do this.

00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:33.140
 And the serpent says,

00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.220
 you will not surely die.

00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:38.780
 And the implication, of course,

00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:40.340
 is that God's, you know,

00:07:40.820 --> 00:07:41.800
 kind of selfish.

00:07:42.460 --> 00:07:43.820
 He's thinking about himself.

00:07:44.300 --> 00:07:45.260
 He's maybe even jealous.

00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:46.380
 He doesn't.

00:07:46.440 --> 00:07:50.140
 He wants to make sure he withholds this good thing from Adam and Eve.

00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:53.420
 So, you know what's really going on, Eve?

00:07:53.580 --> 00:07:56.840
 It's not that there's anything bad about eating from this tree.

00:07:57.080 --> 00:07:59.480
 In fact, it's going to make you more like God and open your eyes.

00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:00.760
 God just doesn't want that for you.

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.840
 He's trying to withhold that from you.

00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.699
 So let's ask at this point,

00:08:05.799 --> 00:08:07.699
 what exactly is the tree of knowledge, good and evil?

00:08:08.779 --> 00:08:12.079
 Because sometimes people think about it as an apple tree.

00:08:12.359 --> 00:08:14.179
 It doesn't actually say that it's an apple tree.

00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:16.639
 It comes from the Latin word for apple,

00:08:16.819 --> 00:08:17.699
 which means also,

00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:19.199
 it's also the same word for evil.

00:08:19.559 --> 00:08:22.279
 That's why that was used to represent the tree of knowledge,

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:23.459
 good and evil in the past.

00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.620
 But what in fact was a tree,

00:08:26.059 --> 00:08:27.719
 it was a poisonous tree.

00:08:27.859 --> 00:08:28.799
 Like what's going on?

00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:29.959
 Why does it cause death?

00:08:29.979 --> 00:08:31.559
 And why does God forbid it?

00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.820
 And since tree of life,

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:35.940
 according to verse 22,

00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:37.220
 gives life,

00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:38.519
 eternal life,

00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.200
 it seems that the tree of knowledge of good and evil

00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.139
 should give knowledge of good and evil.

00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:43.700
 Right?

00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:44.980
 That'd be a fair assumption.

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:47.480
 And if that's the case,

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.720
 then why does God withhold it from Adam and Eve?

00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:51.759
 Isn't knowledge a good thing?

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:52.539
 Right?

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:54.299
 In fact,

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:55.799
 isn't the whole book of Proverbs

00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:56.679
 pointed to,

00:08:57.299 --> 00:08:57.519
 you know,

00:08:57.539 --> 00:09:00.179
 given to us to discern good from good and evil?

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:02.059
 Isn't the whole point of the book of Proverbs

00:09:02.059 --> 00:09:03.480
 to pursue knowledge and wisdom?

00:09:04.339 --> 00:09:04.500
 Right?

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:05.500
 In fact,

00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:06.299
 Psalm 19,

00:09:06.419 --> 00:09:06.879
 7 to 8,

00:09:06.939 --> 00:09:08.259
 teaches that the law of the Lord

00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:10.139
 makes wise the simple

00:09:10.139 --> 00:09:12.379
 and gives light to the eyes.

00:09:14.079 --> 00:09:15.539
 Sounds a lot like the tree of knowledge,

00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:15.980
 good and evil.

00:09:15.980 --> 00:09:18.259
 So verse 5,

00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:19.320
 serpent promises Eve,

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.159
 your eyes will be opened.

00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:23.659
 And then it says in verse 6

00:09:23.659 --> 00:09:24.759
 that the woman saw

00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.720
 that the tree was to be desired

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.460
 to make one wise.

00:09:28.659 --> 00:09:29.720
 So they seek that,

00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:30.300
 seek wisdom,

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:30.600
 seek that.

00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.740
 But why doesn't God want this wisdom

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:34.139
 for Adam and Eve?

00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:35.240
 And the reason is this,

00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:35.980
 right?

00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:37.159
 Because though the Psalms

00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:38.680
 often praise the law of God

00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:39.560
 and the Proverbs

00:09:39.560 --> 00:09:42.180
 enjoin us to pursue His wisdom,

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:43.960
 the law and the wisdom

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:44.639
 that we pursue

00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.740
 is always in reference to God.

00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:48.240
 It's the wisdom and knowledge

00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.280
 that's from God,

00:09:49.400 --> 00:09:50.519
 not knowledge and wisdom

00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:51.960
 that's apart from God.

00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.660
 So Proverbs 1, 7 says,

00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:56.860
 the fear of the Lord

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:58.660
 is the beginning of knowledge.

00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:00.480
 Proverbs 21, 30 says,

00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:01.180
 no wisdom,

00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:02.019
 no understanding,

00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:02.860
 no counsel

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:05.120
 can avail against the Lord.

00:10:05.540 --> 00:10:06.820
 There's wisdom and knowledge

00:10:06.820 --> 00:10:08.720
 that's God's unique prerogative.

00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:10.940
 And we ought to pursue wisdom

00:10:10.940 --> 00:10:11.460
 and knowledge

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:12.720
 in submission to Him

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.899
 and not in rebellion against Him.

00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.820
 We're supposed to get wisdom

00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:16.779
 and knowledge from Him,

00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:18.240
 not apart from Him.

00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:19.740
 So what Eve's doing here

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:22.160
 is not just seeking moral knowledge,

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.279
 she's seeking moral autonomy.

00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:26.580
 She wants to know for herself

00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:27.759
 and to decide for herself

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.820
 what is right and wrong,

00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.920
 not to get it from the Lord God

00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:32.040
 who created her

00:10:32.040 --> 00:10:33.200
 and designed her

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.500
 to live for Him.

00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:40.679
 And it's not that Adam and Eve,

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:41.480
 if you think about it,

00:10:41.539 --> 00:10:42.379
 didn't know at all

00:10:42.379 --> 00:10:43.659
 what was good and evil, right?

00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.700
 I mean, they did know to a degree

00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:47.379
 because the Lord God said,

00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:48.360
 you may surely eat

00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:49.419
 of every tree of the garden.

00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:50.080
 That's good.

00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:51.200
 You can do that.

00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:53.539
 But then He says specifically

00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:54.679
 of the tree of knowledge

00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:55.159
 of good and evil,

00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:56.100
 you shall not eat

00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:57.360
 for in the day you eat of it,

00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:58.460
 you shall surely die.

00:10:58.539 --> 00:10:59.480
 That was not good.

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:01.039
 And they knew that.

00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:02.580
 They knew in that sense

00:11:02.580 --> 00:11:04.280
 what was good and what was evil,

00:11:04.400 --> 00:11:05.600
 what was right and what was wrong

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.240
 because they knew

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.220
 what God had told them,

00:11:07.280 --> 00:11:08.560
 what He had told them not to do.

00:11:09.060 --> 00:11:10.520
 But by taking the fruit,

00:11:11.040 --> 00:11:12.200
 the serpent is cunningly

00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:13.320
 manipulating Eve

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.879
 to be the arbiter of goodness

00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:17.020
 and evil herself,

00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:18.680
 to decide for herself

00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:21.040
 what is good and what is evil.

00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:25.540
 Jenny once told me about this,

00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:25.860
 actually,

00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:26.920
 and I confirmed it

00:11:26.920 --> 00:11:28.780
 in a Harvard Gazette article.

00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:30.540
 It was actually written

00:11:30.540 --> 00:11:31.500
 two years ago today

00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:33.860
 about a Harvard seal.

00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:34.700
 If you guys have seen it,

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:35.340
 it's three books,

00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:36.799
 open books,

00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.700
 has the word veritas in it,

00:11:38.779 --> 00:11:39.580
 which is the Latin word

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:40.080
 for truth.

00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.100
 And it's not,

00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:45.500
 that's not the original design.

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:47.679
 The 17th century design

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.919
 that the Puritans had,

00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:51.179
 the first two books were open,

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.740
 but the third book was closed.

00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.259
 It's not open.

00:11:57.779 --> 00:11:59.179
 And it was to suggest

00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:00.139
 that the first two books

00:12:00.139 --> 00:12:01.139
 are God's revelation,

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:01.639
 scripture,

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:02.919
 the Old and the New Testaments.

00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:04.120
 And the third book

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:04.939
 was supposed to represent

00:12:04.939 --> 00:12:05.740
 the fact that there is

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:06.720
 knowledge and wisdom

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.519
 that is reserved for God alone.

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.220
 Compared to that

00:12:13.220 --> 00:12:14.399
 profound theological truth,

00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:15.799
 the new seal looks

00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:16.379
 a little shallow,

00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:16.819
 doesn't it?

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:18.679
 Now we think,

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:18.939
 yeah,

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.220
 we can attain all knowledge

00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:20.939
 for ourselves.

00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.379
 Human autonomy,

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:23.840
 that's really what's going on

00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.779
 with Eve's sin,

00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:25.340
 right here.

00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.059
 It's the essence

00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:28.139
 of human hubris

00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:29.340
 to think that we can be

00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:30.860
 the masters of our own faith,

00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:32.659
 to think that we can attain

00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:33.240
 all knowledge

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:34.340
 and be totally autonomous

00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:35.720
 apart from God

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:36.919
 and live without reference

00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:37.379
 to God.

00:12:38.539 --> 00:12:39.559
 The part of root

00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.000
 of every sin is,

00:12:41.100 --> 00:12:42.120
 that's why it's pride

00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:43.220
 and unbelief.

00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:44.740
 Those two things,

00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:45.139
 they're flips,

00:12:45.299 --> 00:12:46.740
 two sides of the same coin,

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:47.840
 pride and unbelief

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:48.620
 are at the root

00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:50.659
 of every single sin.

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:54.240
 It's an act of treason,

00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:55.219
 really.

00:12:56.319 --> 00:12:57.219
 Ultimate rebellion,

00:12:57.500 --> 00:12:58.559
 disbelieving God

00:12:58.559 --> 00:12:59.459
 and then believing

00:12:59.459 --> 00:13:01.199
 that they can be like God,

00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:02.379
 believing that we can be

00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:03.639
 like God.

00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:06.939
 And notice how the serpent

00:13:06.939 --> 00:13:08.179
 never makes

00:13:08.179 --> 00:13:10.199
 a direct suggestion to Eve,

00:13:10.339 --> 00:13:10.500
 you know,

00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:11.319
 you should really eat

00:13:11.319 --> 00:13:12.100
 of the tree of the knowledge

00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:12.500
 of good and evil.

00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:13.319
 He doesn't do that.

00:13:13.980 --> 00:13:14.899
 He understands

00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:16.199
 the art of seduction.

00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:17.860
 He simply presents

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:18.539
 an alternative

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:20.079
 to God's command

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:21.160
 and makes it seem

00:13:21.160 --> 00:13:22.379
 like it's more desirable.

00:13:23.400 --> 00:13:24.620
 Sin looks attractive

00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:25.300
 in this picture.

00:13:26.420 --> 00:13:27.660
 You see this in verse 6.

00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:28.320
 Read that with me.

00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:30.259
 So when the woman saw

00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:31.060
 that the tree

00:13:31.060 --> 00:13:32.780
 was good for food

00:13:32.780 --> 00:13:33.920
 and that it was

00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:35.580
 a delight to the eyes

00:13:35.580 --> 00:13:36.560
 and that the tree

00:13:36.560 --> 00:13:37.540
 was to be desired

00:13:37.540 --> 00:13:38.840
 to make one wise,

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.860
 she took of its fruit

00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:41.379
 and ate

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:42.879
 and she also gave some

00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:43.400
 to her husband

00:13:43.400 --> 00:13:44.140
 who was with her

00:13:44.140 --> 00:13:44.680
 and he ate.

00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:47.500
 It was good,

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:48.540
 delightful,

00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:49.660
 desirable,

00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:51.719
 sin looks attractive,

00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:52.559
 looks good.

00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:54.059
 Vices,

00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:54.699
 sins,

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.240
 have to masquerade

00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:57.179
 as virtues

00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:57.860
 in order to be

00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:58.699
 appealing to us.

00:14:00.179 --> 00:14:01.620
 You see this everywhere.

00:14:01.839 --> 00:14:03.399
 Lust masquerades

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.019
 as love.

00:14:05.539 --> 00:14:06.879
 Selfishness masquerades

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.919
 as self-love

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:08.860
 or self-esteem.

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.839
 Abuse masquerades

00:14:11.839 --> 00:14:12.639
 as discipline.

00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:15.980
 Slutfulness masquerades

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:17.000
 as being relaxed

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:17.779
 and laid back.

00:14:19.179 --> 00:14:20.580
 Pride masquerades

00:14:20.580 --> 00:14:21.460
 as being confident.

00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:23.559
 Selfish ambition

00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:24.240
 masquerades

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.019
 as drive

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:26.200
 and industriousness.

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:27.759
 Envy masquerades

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.179
 as righteous indignation.

00:14:29.940 --> 00:14:30.820
 Lack of faith

00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:31.779
 masquerades

00:14:31.779 --> 00:14:33.500
 as reasonableness.

00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:34.559
 And cynicism

00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:35.179
 masquerades

00:14:35.179 --> 00:14:35.740
 as wisdom.

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:38.220
 Licentiousness

00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:39.039
 masquerades

00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:39.899
 as progressiveness.

00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:41.320
 Fear of man

00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:41.860
 masquerades

00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:42.440
 as humility.

00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.500
 Mockery

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.100
 and scorn

00:14:45.100 --> 00:14:45.760
 masquerades

00:14:45.760 --> 00:14:46.780
 as witticism.

00:14:48.020 --> 00:14:48.460
 Gossip

00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:49.220
 masquerades

00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:49.840
 as concern.

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:51.300
 Permissiveness

00:14:51.300 --> 00:14:52.240
 masquerades

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:53.040
 as tolerance.

00:14:54.260 --> 00:14:54.920
 Isn't that true?

00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:58.720
 Sin always looks good.

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.000
 It's attractive.

00:15:00.300 --> 00:15:00.700
 We do it

00:15:00.700 --> 00:15:01.500
 because we want

00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:02.040
 to do it.

00:15:06.760 --> 00:15:08.100
 And that's

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:09.040
 why sin

00:15:09.040 --> 00:15:10.000
 is ultimately

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.740
 so grievous

00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:11.279
 to God.

00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:13.919
 Not only

00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:14.560
 because we're

00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:15.100
 pridefully

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:15.799
 declaring

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:16.560
 that we know

00:15:16.560 --> 00:15:17.320
 better than God

00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:17.740
 does,

00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:19.320
 but because

00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:19.820
 we're also

00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:21.039
 faithlessly

00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:21.740
 denying

00:15:21.740 --> 00:15:22.379
 God's

00:15:22.379 --> 00:15:22.899
 generous

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:24.419
 provision

00:15:24.419 --> 00:15:24.860
 for us,

00:15:24.899 --> 00:15:25.539
 His goodness

00:15:25.539 --> 00:15:26.560
 toward us.

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:27.919
 We're doing

00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:29.399
 exactly what

00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:29.799
 Eve did

00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:30.980
 in thinking

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:31.440
 that God

00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:32.100
 is stringent.

00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:32.980
 He's withholding

00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:33.740
 something from us.

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:34.960
 He's being

00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:36.060
 wicked toward us.

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:36.720
 He's not being

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:37.860
 good and generous

00:15:37.860 --> 00:15:38.399
 toward us.

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:39.220
 That's why

00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:40.000
 sin is grievous.

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.340
 Because God's

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:42.820
 heart toward

00:15:42.820 --> 00:15:43.240
 His openness

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:43.860
 is generous

00:15:43.860 --> 00:15:44.379
 and good.

00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:45.039
 He gives us

00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:45.679
 all that is

00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:46.379
 good and provides

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:46.759
 for us.

00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:47.659
 Yet we think

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:48.019
 of Him

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:48.519
 and we think

00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:49.700
 of the sins,

00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:50.820
 the other things

00:15:50.820 --> 00:15:51.440
 that attract us

00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:51.840
 and we see

00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:52.240
 those things

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.519
 and say,

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:52.740
 no,

00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:53.620
 that's better.

00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:55.539
 God's withholding

00:15:55.539 --> 00:15:56.080
 something from me.

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:56.799
 This is better.

00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:58.039
 That's so grievous

00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:58.580
 to God.

00:15:59.220 --> 00:16:00.000
 He's a generous

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:00.399
 Father.

00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:00.759
 He's our

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:01.539
 loving creator.

00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:09.519
 And so Eve

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:10.439
 takes the fruit

00:16:10.439 --> 00:16:11.259
 and eats

00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:13.120
 and gives it

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:13.879
 also to her husband.

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.559
 And now we come

00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:16.579
 to verses 6 to 8

00:16:16.579 --> 00:16:17.159
 which is the

00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:18.120
 climactic moment

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:18.959
 of this whole narrative.

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:20.899
 Chapters 2 and 3

00:16:20.899 --> 00:16:22.299
 is just really

00:16:22.299 --> 00:16:24.199
 artistically structured.

00:16:24.439 --> 00:16:25.219
 It's the whole thing

00:16:25.219 --> 00:16:25.759
 is structured

00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:26.679
 as a chiasm

00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:28.240
 or it's symmetrically

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:28.719
 structured

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.899
 so that there's

00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:30.899
 an element

00:16:30.899 --> 00:16:31.379
 in the beginning

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:31.960
 that corresponds

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:32.540
 to an element

00:16:32.540 --> 00:16:33.060
 in the end

00:16:33.060 --> 00:16:33.879
 and they kind of

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.759
 come together

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.300
 to highlight

00:16:35.300 --> 00:16:36.160
 what's in the middle.

00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:37.000
 So that's what's

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:37.279
 going on.

00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:37.720
 So first,

00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:38.320
 let me show you

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.399
 in chapter 2

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:40.639
 verses 5 to 17

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.940
 God plants

00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:42.779
 the Garden of Eden

00:16:42.779 --> 00:16:43.480
 and then brings

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:44.500
 the tree of life

00:16:44.500 --> 00:16:45.139
 in the midst of it

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:46.300
 and then forms man

00:16:46.300 --> 00:16:46.920
 from the dust

00:16:46.920 --> 00:16:47.560
 of the ground

00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:48.240
 and then puts him

00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.080
 there to work it

00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:49.660
 and keep it.

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:50.320
 So that's what happens

00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:51.120
 in that first section.

00:16:51.660 --> 00:16:52.440
 And in the corresponding

00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:53.480
 section at the end

00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.779
 it's God banishes

00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:56.279
 Adam and Eve

00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:57.220
 from the Garden of Eden

00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:58.340
 and then

00:16:58.340 --> 00:16:59.280
 so that they may

00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:00.340
 not eat

00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:01.420
 from the tree of life

00:17:01.420 --> 00:17:02.639
 and then instead

00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.259
 of working the garden

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:05.420
 now Adam must

00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:06.519
 work the ground

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.539
 from which he was taken

00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:09.460
 and the keeping duty

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:09.980
 that was given

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:10.380
 to Adam

00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:10.880
 is now given

00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:11.700
 to the cherubim

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:12.660
 to keep Adam

00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:13.200
 from coming

00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:13.819
 into the garden.

00:17:14.100 --> 00:17:14.740
 You see all the

00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:15.799
 stuff that happens.

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.400
 So this structure

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:17.440
 intentionally highlights

00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:18.380
 the consequences

00:17:18.380 --> 00:17:18.900
 of sin.

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.319
 So after that

00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:21.259
 is the second element

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:22.360
 chapter 2

00:17:22.360 --> 00:17:23.779
 verses 18 to 25

00:17:23.779 --> 00:17:24.720
 it conveys

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:25.920
 the original ideal

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:26.620
 of creation.

00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:28.019
 man rules

00:17:28.019 --> 00:17:28.679
 over the earth

00:17:28.679 --> 00:17:29.339
 and its animals

00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:30.219
 along with the woman

00:17:30.219 --> 00:17:31.279
 his perfect helpmate

00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:32.419
 and then the scene

00:17:32.419 --> 00:17:33.239
 ends with how

00:17:33.239 --> 00:17:34.000
 the man and wife

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.219
 will procreate together

00:17:35.219 --> 00:17:36.759
 and how they were

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:37.979
 naked but unashamed.

00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:38.839
 And then the

00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:39.719
 corresponding section

00:17:39.719 --> 00:17:40.459
 in chapter 3

00:17:40.459 --> 00:17:42.199
 is verses 14 to 21

00:17:42.199 --> 00:17:43.319
 that's the fallen

00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:44.459
 reality of creation.

00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:46.000
 There is perpetual

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:46.919
 enmity now

00:17:46.919 --> 00:17:47.899
 between the woman

00:17:47.899 --> 00:17:48.500
 and the servant

00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:49.719
 and between the man

00:17:49.719 --> 00:17:50.199
 and the woman

00:17:50.199 --> 00:17:51.219
 and the scene

00:17:51.219 --> 00:17:51.959
 also ends

00:17:51.959 --> 00:17:52.579
 with the mention

00:17:52.579 --> 00:17:53.519
 of procreation

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:54.660
 and this time

00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:55.440
 instead of

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:56.519
 being naked

00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:57.139
 and unashamed

00:17:57.139 --> 00:17:58.539
 God clothes Adam

00:17:58.539 --> 00:17:58.920
 and Eve

00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:00.059
 in garments of skin.

00:18:00.339 --> 00:18:00.839
 So again

00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:01.779
 that corresponding

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:02.099
 element

00:18:02.099 --> 00:18:02.759
 the consequences

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.139
 of sin.

00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:04.180
 And then the

00:18:04.180 --> 00:18:05.579
 third element

00:18:05.579 --> 00:18:06.660
 is chapter 3

00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:07.579
 verses 1 to 5

00:18:07.579 --> 00:18:08.019
 which says

00:18:08.019 --> 00:18:09.220
 that the crafty

00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:10.319
 serpent tempts

00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:10.839
 Eve to eat

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:11.319
 from the tree

00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:11.700
 of knowledge

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:12.240
 of good and evil

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:13.059
 by saying three

00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:13.980
 things about the tree.

00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:15.619
 And then later

00:18:15.619 --> 00:18:16.980
 in verses 9 to 13

00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:18.059
 after eating

00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:18.619
 from the tree

00:18:18.619 --> 00:18:19.019
 of knowledge

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:19.680
 of good and evil

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.200
 Adam and Eve

00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:20.859
 discover that

00:18:20.859 --> 00:18:21.619
 they are naked.

00:18:21.619 --> 00:18:22.719
 The word naked

00:18:22.719 --> 00:18:23.479
 is a word play

00:18:23.479 --> 00:18:24.519
 on the word crafty.

00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:25.459
 They look exactly

00:18:25.459 --> 00:18:25.919
 the same.

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:26.879
 Almost exactly

00:18:26.879 --> 00:18:27.139
 the same.

00:18:27.500 --> 00:18:27.959
 And then God

00:18:27.959 --> 00:18:29.359
 poses three questions

00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:29.919
 to Adam and Eve.

00:18:29.939 --> 00:18:30.339
 You guys see

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:30.859
 the structure

00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:31.399
 I'm talking about?

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:32.759
 And now all this

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.379
 is intended

00:18:33.379 --> 00:18:33.839
 to highlight

00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:34.339
 the element

00:18:34.339 --> 00:18:34.939
 in the middle

00:18:34.939 --> 00:18:35.459
 which is where

00:18:35.459 --> 00:18:35.759
 we are.

00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:37.279
 Verses 6 to 8

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:37.939
 Man and woman

00:18:37.939 --> 00:18:38.819
 are standing alone

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:39.279
 in the middle

00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:39.739
 of the garden

00:18:39.739 --> 00:18:41.119
 and the woman

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.199
 listens to the serpent

00:18:42.199 --> 00:18:43.179
 and the man

00:18:43.179 --> 00:18:44.259
 listens to the woman

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:45.199
 and God

00:18:45.199 --> 00:18:46.179
 is not listened

00:18:46.179 --> 00:18:47.339
 to by the man.

00:18:49.879 --> 00:18:51.239
 So that's

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:52.759
 it points out

00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:53.980
 the hierarchy

00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:55.460
 that gets broken

00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:56.160
 and subverted

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:57.200
 here.

00:18:58.259 --> 00:18:59.759
 And even the way

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:01.559
 the verses 6 to 8

00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:02.319
 are phrased

00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:03.700
 really highlight

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:04.460
 the fact that

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:05.180
 Adam and Eve

00:19:05.180 --> 00:19:06.740
 really is usurping

00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:08.279
 God's rights

00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:08.880
 as a creator.

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:09.960
 So if you look

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:10.819
 at verse 6 to 8

00:19:10.819 --> 00:19:12.259
 it's just staccato pace

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:13.000
 rapid pace

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:13.940
 there's a lot of action

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:14.759
 the woman saw

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.700
 she took

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:16.620
 and ate

00:19:16.620 --> 00:19:17.720
 and she also gave

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:18.500
 some to her husband

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:19.859
 and he ate.

00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:20.939
 And all of these

00:19:20.939 --> 00:19:21.719
 things are things

00:19:21.719 --> 00:19:22.379
 that previously

00:19:22.379 --> 00:19:23.299
 were attributed

00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:23.919
 to God

00:19:23.919 --> 00:19:24.699
 God's action

00:19:24.699 --> 00:19:25.199
 right?

00:19:25.479 --> 00:19:25.979
 If you remember

00:19:25.979 --> 00:19:26.559
 in creation

00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:27.899
 God saw

00:19:27.899 --> 00:19:28.740
 that it was good

00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:29.259
 right?

00:19:29.939 --> 00:19:31.419
 But now it's the woman

00:19:31.419 --> 00:19:32.339
 that sees

00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:33.119
 that the fruit

00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:33.619
 is good

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:34.219
 right?

00:19:34.899 --> 00:19:36.159
 And then it says

00:19:36.159 --> 00:19:37.159
 that you know

00:19:37.159 --> 00:19:38.359
 God took

00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:39.379
 the rift

00:19:39.379 --> 00:19:40.039
 from Adam

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:41.659
 and formed Eve

00:19:41.659 --> 00:19:42.099
 with it

00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:43.199
 and then God

00:19:43.199 --> 00:19:44.139
 brought Eve

00:19:44.139 --> 00:19:44.639
 to Adam

00:19:44.639 --> 00:19:45.719
 but now it says

00:19:45.719 --> 00:19:46.240
 the woman

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:47.619
 took of the fruit

00:19:47.619 --> 00:19:48.299
 and ate it

00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:48.639
 right?

00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:51.359
 And then

00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:51.959
 so that

00:19:51.959 --> 00:19:52.899
 God's taking

00:19:52.899 --> 00:19:53.399
 the rift

00:19:53.399 --> 00:19:54.039
 from Adam

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:54.419
 but also

00:19:54.419 --> 00:19:55.019
 God taking

00:19:55.019 --> 00:19:55.339
 the man

00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:55.699
 and putting

00:19:55.699 --> 00:19:56.039
 him in the

00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:56.459
 garden of Eden

00:19:56.459 --> 00:19:57.239
 now eats

00:19:57.239 --> 00:19:57.639
 the woman

00:19:57.639 --> 00:19:58.259
 that takes

00:19:58.259 --> 00:19:58.699
 of the fruit

00:19:58.699 --> 00:19:59.219
 and eats.

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.139
 And then

00:20:01.139 --> 00:20:02.159
 third

00:20:02.159 --> 00:20:02.979
 making

00:20:02.979 --> 00:20:03.479
 right?

00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:05.219
 Up to this point

00:20:05.219 --> 00:20:05.679
 it was God

00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:06.019
 who had done

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:06.699
 all the making

00:20:06.699 --> 00:20:07.119
 to provide

00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:07.679
 for the man's

00:20:07.679 --> 00:20:07.819
 need

00:20:07.819 --> 00:20:08.199
 but now

00:20:08.199 --> 00:20:09.099
 after their sin

00:20:09.099 --> 00:20:10.319
 they themselves

00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:11.259
 make for

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:11.899
 themselves

00:20:11.899 --> 00:20:12.599
 loincloths

00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:13.500
 to clothe themselves.

00:20:14.159 --> 00:20:14.559
 God's not

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.419
 providing for them

00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:16.539
 in that scene

00:20:16.539 --> 00:20:17.240
 after sin

00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:18.140
 they have to

00:20:18.140 --> 00:20:18.800
 provide for themselves

00:20:18.800 --> 00:20:19.380
 because they

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:20.700
 have usurped

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.880
 the creator's rights.

00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:25.240
 So then

00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:25.800
 in these

00:20:25.800 --> 00:20:26.539
 three verses

00:20:26.539 --> 00:20:27.420
 verses 6 to 8

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:28.039
 the creators

00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:29.560
 the created order

00:20:29.560 --> 00:20:30.200
 the divinely

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:31.220
 instituted order

00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:31.820
 in creation

00:20:31.820 --> 00:20:33.220
 is inverted

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:34.100
 it's turned

00:20:34.100 --> 00:20:34.860
 upside down.

00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:36.120
 God as the creator

00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:36.600
 of the heavens

00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:37.100
 and the earth

00:20:37.100 --> 00:20:38.180
 rules over it all

00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:39.220
 and then he formed

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:40.180
 man to rule

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:40.980
 over the earth

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:42.800
 as his representative

00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:44.100
 and then he gave

00:20:44.100 --> 00:20:44.759
 Eve to him

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.440
 as his helper

00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.460
 and gave him

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:47.299
 the responsibility

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:48.519
 to lead her

00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:50.839
 and to represent her

00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:52.000
 and then

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.460
 together

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:53.000
 men and women

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:53.440
 were to rule

00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:54.019
 over the earth

00:20:54.019 --> 00:20:54.579
 which included

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:55.339
 all the animals

00:20:55.339 --> 00:20:55.599
 right?

00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:56.220
 So the creational

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:56.900
 order was

00:20:56.900 --> 00:20:57.299
 God

00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:57.960
 man

00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.500
 woman

00:20:58.500 --> 00:20:59.420
 animals

00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:00.500
 but in

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:01.480
 verses 6 to 8

00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:02.200
 the woman

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.019
 listens to the serpent

00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:05.319
 which she's supposed

00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:05.900
 to rule over

00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:08.599
 and the man

00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:09.700
 listens to the woman

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:11.400
 whom he's supposed

00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:11.839
 to lead

00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:12.720
 and take responsibility

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.180
 for

00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:14.920
 and then

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.480
 they both

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:15.880
 together

00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:16.440
 disobey

00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:16.880
 and rebel

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:17.759
 against God

00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:18.259
 so the whole

00:21:18.259 --> 00:21:18.640
 thing

00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:19.820
 is inverted

00:21:19.820 --> 00:21:22.519
 and notice

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.120
 in verse 6

00:21:23.120 --> 00:21:23.400
 it says

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:24.259
 she gave some

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:24.820
 to her husband

00:21:24.820 --> 00:21:25.880
 who was

00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:26.480
 with her

00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:26.900
 right?

00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:28.200
 Adam's there

00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:28.900
 all along

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:29.160
 right?

00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:29.779
 So people think

00:21:29.779 --> 00:21:30.019
 sometimes

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:30.860
 oh it's Eve's fault

00:21:30.860 --> 00:21:31.220
 she's the one

00:21:31.220 --> 00:21:31.700
 that took it

00:21:31.700 --> 00:21:32.980
 Adam's right there

00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:34.900
 and you know what

00:21:34.900 --> 00:21:35.660
 he's the one

00:21:35.660 --> 00:21:36.100
 that heard

00:21:36.100 --> 00:21:36.820
 God's command

00:21:36.820 --> 00:21:37.600
 to not take

00:21:37.600 --> 00:21:38.019
 from the tree

00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:38.460
 of the knowledge

00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:39.060
 of good and evil

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:40.099
 Eve wasn't there

00:21:40.099 --> 00:21:45.079
 he is the one

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:46.339
 that God gave the charge

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:47.099
 to take responsibility

00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:47.859
 for his wife

00:21:47.859 --> 00:21:49.179
 instead he is

00:21:49.179 --> 00:21:49.879
 you know

00:21:49.879 --> 00:21:51.440
 classically passive

00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.240
 just letting the woman

00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:54.419
 do what she wants

00:21:54.419 --> 00:21:55.079
 and just following

00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:55.619
 her lead

00:21:55.619 --> 00:21:58.619
 forsaking his responsibility

00:21:58.619 --> 00:21:59.740
 and sins

00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:00.779
 against

00:22:00.779 --> 00:22:01.679
 God

00:22:01.679 --> 00:22:04.980
 and what happens

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:06.380
 now we turn to

00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:07.059
 the consequences

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.539
 of sin

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:09.440
 verse 7

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:10.019
 to 8

00:22:10.019 --> 00:22:10.539
 verse 7

00:22:10.539 --> 00:22:10.799
 it says

00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:11.640
 then the eyes

00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:12.460
 of both

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.400
 were opened

00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:14.120
 now this part

00:22:14.120 --> 00:22:14.620
 the serpent

00:22:14.620 --> 00:22:15.480
 got right

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:17.039
 but if the devil

00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:17.799
 tells you the truth

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:18.920
 it's always a half truth

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.960
 intended to deceive

00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:20.799
 right?

00:22:20.860 --> 00:22:21.319
 so their eyes

00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:21.740
 were opened

00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:22.299
 but instead of

00:22:22.299 --> 00:22:23.360
 gaining great knowledge

00:22:23.360 --> 00:22:24.099
 and wisdom

00:22:24.099 --> 00:22:25.079
 the rest of the verse

00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:26.120
 says that they knew

00:22:26.120 --> 00:22:27.319
 they were naked

00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:28.900
 that's ironic

00:22:28.900 --> 00:22:30.660
 it's really tragic

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:32.319
 because I told you

00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:32.940
 about the word play

00:22:32.940 --> 00:22:33.640
 between crafty

00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:34.019
 and naked

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:34.940
 while this great

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:35.599
 knowledge you gained

00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:36.079
 from following

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.799
 the crafty serpent

00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:37.599
 you discover

00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:38.259
 that you're naked

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:38.879
 that's it

00:22:38.879 --> 00:22:40.420
 now verse 8

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:40.980
 continues

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:41.779
 and they heard

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:42.240
 the sound

00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:43.000
 of the Lord God

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.000
 walking in the garden

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:44.960
 in the cool of the day

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:45.460
 and the man

00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:46.019
 and his wife

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:46.700
 hid themselves

00:22:46.700 --> 00:22:47.400
 from the presence

00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:48.319
 of the Lord God

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:49.440
 among the trees

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.119
 of the garden

00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:51.940
 so not only

00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:52.599
 are Adam and Eve

00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:53.339
 ashamed of their

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:54.019
 own nakedness

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:54.799
 with each other

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:55.779
 now they're hiding

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:56.920
 from the Lord God

00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:58.000
 their creator also

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.480
 now instead of

00:22:59.480 --> 00:22:59.940
 intimacy

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:01.019
 and complete openness

00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:02.180
 that they used to enjoy

00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:02.960
 now there's fear

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:03.779
 and shame

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:05.019
 in humanity

00:23:05.019 --> 00:23:07.019
 and isn't it interesting

00:23:07.019 --> 00:23:08.039
 that human beings

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:08.899
 are the only

00:23:08.899 --> 00:23:10.460
 creatures of the world

00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:11.359
 that wear clothes

00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:14.079
 animals don't wear clothes

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.059
 parallel wears clothes

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:17.119
 only because Ray and Carolyn

00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:17.660
 put it on

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:18.059
 right

00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:23.559
 it's because of the shame

00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:24.559
 that we experience

00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:25.619
 due to sin

00:23:25.619 --> 00:23:26.500
 due to our loss

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:27.119
 of innocence

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.379
 now that doesn't mean

00:23:30.379 --> 00:23:31.920
 that we should embrace

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:33.160
 our primal nakedness

00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:34.100
 and then go skinny dipping

00:23:34.100 --> 00:23:34.600
 somewhere

00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:35.380
 right

00:23:35.380 --> 00:23:38.300
 to return to

00:23:38.300 --> 00:23:40.019
 Eden's bliss

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:41.400
 immodest exposure

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:42.460
 and public nudity

00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:44.340
 are acts of denial

00:23:44.340 --> 00:23:45.820
 and defiance

00:23:45.820 --> 00:23:47.860
 of the moral reality

00:23:47.860 --> 00:23:48.940
 that we are fallen

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:49.900
 from where we were

00:23:49.900 --> 00:23:53.300
 that something is wrong

00:23:53.300 --> 00:23:53.860
 in this world

00:23:53.860 --> 00:23:55.680
 so every time

00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:56.539
 we put on clothes

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:57.120
 in the morning

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:58.439
 it's a reminder

00:23:58.439 --> 00:23:59.179
 for us

00:23:59.179 --> 00:24:00.399
 that we are sinners

00:24:00.399 --> 00:24:01.239
 in need

00:24:01.239 --> 00:24:02.479
 of God's gracious

00:24:02.479 --> 00:24:03.059
 covering

00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:04.459
 that's the real purpose

00:24:04.459 --> 00:24:04.979
 of clothes

00:24:04.979 --> 00:24:09.159
 so when God comes

00:24:09.159 --> 00:24:09.619
 it is said

00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:10.139
 in verse 8

00:24:10.139 --> 00:24:11.279
 that he was walking

00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:11.879
 in the garden

00:24:11.879 --> 00:24:12.699
 in the cool

00:24:12.699 --> 00:24:13.319
 of the day

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:14.359
 and the word

00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:15.139
 translated here

00:24:15.139 --> 00:24:15.719
 as cool

00:24:15.719 --> 00:24:17.659
 is the same word

00:24:17.659 --> 00:24:18.779
 translated spirit

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:19.899
 or wind

00:24:19.899 --> 00:24:20.819
 or breath

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:21.699
 elsewhere

00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:23.620
 so the wind

00:24:23.620 --> 00:24:24.140
 of the day

00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:24.680
 the breath

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:25.180
 of the day

00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:25.840
 it's referring

00:24:25.840 --> 00:24:26.600
 to the cool

00:24:26.600 --> 00:24:26.920
 wind

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.460
 in the early

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:27.880
 evening

00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:28.539
 that drives

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:28.799
 away

00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:29.620
 the heat

00:24:29.620 --> 00:24:30.200
 of the day

00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:30.500
 right

00:24:30.500 --> 00:24:31.360
 so it's that

00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:32.059
 time of day

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:32.980
 and God

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:34.319
 is in the garden

00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:35.980
 and the wind

00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:36.480
 is because

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.259
 it's referenced

00:24:37.259 --> 00:24:38.279
 often to the spirit

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:38.559
 right

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:38.980
 so just like

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:39.700
 in Genesis 1

00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:40.120
 to 2

00:24:40.120 --> 00:24:40.960
 the spirit

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.380
 of God

00:24:41.380 --> 00:24:42.000
 was hovering

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:42.960
 over the face

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:43.700
 of the waters

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:44.539
 so just as

00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:44.819
 the spirit

00:24:44.819 --> 00:24:45.059
 of God

00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:45.539
 was hovering

00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:46.059
 over the face

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:46.519
 of the waters

00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:47.180
 in the act

00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:47.880
 of creation

00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:49.200
 now in God's

00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:49.860
 act of redemption

00:24:49.860 --> 00:24:50.360
 the spirit

00:24:50.360 --> 00:24:50.700
 of God

00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:51.100
 is also

00:24:51.099 --> 00:24:51.719
 in the garden

00:24:51.719 --> 00:24:52.740
 looking for

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:53.299
 his covenant

00:24:53.299 --> 00:24:53.939
 subjects

00:24:53.939 --> 00:24:56.219
 and once again

00:24:56.219 --> 00:24:56.859
 the narrative

00:24:56.859 --> 00:24:58.199
 restores God's name

00:24:58.199 --> 00:24:58.939
 it's not God

00:24:58.939 --> 00:24:59.240
 anymore

00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:00.099
 it's Lord God

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:00.459
 again

00:25:00.459 --> 00:25:01.679
 because the Lord

00:25:01.679 --> 00:25:02.379
 God has come

00:25:02.379 --> 00:25:03.079
 for a reckoning

00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:04.000
 to address

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.579
 the subjects

00:25:04.579 --> 00:25:05.099
 who have rebelled

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:05.759
 against him

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:07.819
 and so naturally

00:25:07.819 --> 00:25:08.519
 they hide

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:09.659
 but of course

00:25:09.659 --> 00:25:11.019
 it's God

00:25:11.019 --> 00:25:11.639
 you can't hide

00:25:11.639 --> 00:25:12.119
 from him

00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:13.459
 he asks him

00:25:13.459 --> 00:25:14.159
 verse 9

00:25:14.159 --> 00:25:15.039
 a rhetorical question

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.079
 really where are you

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:16.859
 and implicit

00:25:16.859 --> 00:25:17.579
 within the question

00:25:17.579 --> 00:25:18.259
 is why are you

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:19.079
 hiding from me

00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:20.459
 and they respond

00:25:20.460 --> 00:25:21.400
 Adam responds

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:22.039
 I heard

00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:22.880
 the sound

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:23.240
 of you

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:23.819
 in the garden

00:25:23.819 --> 00:25:24.880
 and I was afraid

00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:26.319
 because I was naked

00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:27.900
 and I hid myself

00:25:27.900 --> 00:25:33.039
 it's such an illuminating tale

00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:33.519
 just because

00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:34.819
 you see the classic

00:25:34.819 --> 00:25:35.579
 human response

00:25:35.579 --> 00:25:36.620
 to wrongdoing

00:25:36.620 --> 00:25:37.100
 and guilt

00:25:37.100 --> 00:25:38.120
 and all throughout this

00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:38.759
 right

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:39.960
 because that's a classic

00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:40.460
 tactic

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:41.539
 he's basically avoiding

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:42.100
 eye contact

00:25:42.100 --> 00:25:43.200
 and diverting attention

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:44.000
 he's like

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:44.259
 oh no

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:44.900
 I'm naked

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:45.700
 that's why I hid

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:46.759
 but that's not the point

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.039
 right

00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:47.779
 I mean

00:25:47.779 --> 00:25:48.579
 God knows

00:25:48.579 --> 00:25:49.299
 what's going on

00:25:49.299 --> 00:25:49.700
 so he asks

00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:50.359
 who told you

00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:51.059
 that you were naked

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:51.879
 have you eaten

00:25:51.879 --> 00:25:52.500
 of the tree

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:53.940
 of which I commanded

00:25:53.940 --> 00:25:54.799
 you not to eat

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.839
 and then

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:57.059
 another classic

00:25:57.059 --> 00:25:58.639
 defense mechanism

00:25:58.639 --> 00:25:59.460
 blame shifting

00:25:59.460 --> 00:26:00.299
 I mean

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:00.899
 you guys laughed

00:26:00.899 --> 00:26:01.259
 out loud

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:01.819
 because it really

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:02.339
 is funny

00:26:02.339 --> 00:26:02.940
 what happens

00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:04.379
 the man said

00:26:04.379 --> 00:26:05.139
 the woman

00:26:05.139 --> 00:26:06.519
 whom you gave me

00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:07.539
 the woman

00:26:07.539 --> 00:26:08.420
 whom you gave

00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:09.379
 to be with me

00:26:09.379 --> 00:26:10.839
 she gave me

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:11.480
 fruit of the tree

00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:12.159
 and I ate

00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:16.519
 I mean

00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:17.460
 he's not just

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:18.019
 blaming

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:19.380
 his wife

00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:20.340
 he's accusing

00:26:20.340 --> 00:26:20.820
 God

00:26:20.820 --> 00:26:21.300
 the woman

00:26:21.300 --> 00:26:22.360
 you gave me

00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:23.279
 you thought

00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:23.860
 it was a grand

00:26:23.860 --> 00:26:24.540
 old idea

00:26:24.540 --> 00:26:25.080
 oh man

00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:26.019
 that was a mistake

00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:32.100
 and so Eve

00:26:32.100 --> 00:26:33.060
 was designed

00:26:33.060 --> 00:26:34.200
 to be Adam's helper

00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:34.820
 instead of

00:26:34.820 --> 00:26:36.259
 helping hindered him

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:37.140
 and so

00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:38.040
 and Adam

00:26:38.040 --> 00:26:38.660
 who's not supposed

00:26:38.660 --> 00:26:39.940
 to take responsibility

00:26:39.940 --> 00:26:40.720
 for Eve

00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:41.920
 and to represent her

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:43.820
 just abdicates

00:26:43.820 --> 00:26:44.340
 completely

00:26:44.340 --> 00:26:45.759
 and blames her

00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:46.779
 lays all the

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.840
 responsibility on her

00:26:47.840 --> 00:26:49.519
 and then the woman

00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:50.300
 follows suit

00:26:50.300 --> 00:26:51.259
 by shifting her

00:26:51.259 --> 00:26:52.060
 blame as well

00:26:52.060 --> 00:26:52.880
 verse 13

00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:54.200
 the serpent

00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:55.400
 deceived me

00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:56.560
 and I ate

00:26:56.560 --> 00:26:58.120
 the serpent

00:26:58.120 --> 00:26:58.580
 mind you

00:26:58.580 --> 00:26:59.560
 according to verse 1

00:26:59.560 --> 00:27:00.580
 the Lord God

00:27:00.580 --> 00:27:01.120
 had made

00:27:01.120 --> 00:27:02.400
 the serpent

00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:02.920
 you made

00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:07.519
 the peace

00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:08.400
 and harmony

00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:09.360
 that characterized

00:27:09.360 --> 00:27:10.279
 the garden of Eden

00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:11.539
 is now shattered

00:27:11.539 --> 00:27:12.579
 sin

00:27:12.579 --> 00:27:12.599
 sin

00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:13.680
 has alienated

00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:15.039
 man from God

00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:15.859
 and woman

00:27:15.859 --> 00:27:16.599
 from man

00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:17.440
 and animals

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:18.720
 from humanity

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:20.759
 and notice how

00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:21.319
 the Lord God

00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:22.799
 comes to reestablish

00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:23.839
 that created order

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:25.680
 even though the woman

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:26.359
 was the leading

00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:26.980
 protagonist

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:28.720
 in the preceding

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.079
 narrative

00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:30.519
 he first comes

00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:30.980
 to man

00:27:30.980 --> 00:27:31.480
 because he's

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:32.099
 holding him

00:27:32.099 --> 00:27:32.720
 responsible

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.440
 because he had

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:35.079
 appointed him

00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:35.480
 as head

00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:37.159
 that's why in Romans 5

00:27:37.159 --> 00:27:37.960
 it teaches that sin

00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:38.299
 and death

00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:39.079
 enter humanity

00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:40.019
 through Adam

00:27:40.019 --> 00:27:40.960
 not Eve

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.539
 because Adam

00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:42.480
 was the federal head

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:43.519
 the representative head

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.439
 in his marriage

00:27:44.439 --> 00:27:45.179
 and of humanity

00:27:45.179 --> 00:27:45.699
 at large

00:27:45.699 --> 00:27:47.419
 and then after

00:27:47.419 --> 00:27:48.159
 addressing Adam

00:27:48.159 --> 00:27:48.679
 that God

00:27:48.679 --> 00:27:49.359
 addresses

00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:50.839
 Eve

00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:53.179
 and then interestingly

00:27:53.179 --> 00:27:53.960
 God

00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:55.220
 doesn't

00:27:55.220 --> 00:27:56.099
 even give the serpent

00:27:56.099 --> 00:27:57.079
 a chance to speak

00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:59.740
 right

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:02.199
 though the serpent

00:28:02.199 --> 00:28:02.960
 sought to

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:04.340
 to be the man's

00:28:04.340 --> 00:28:04.759
 superior

00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:05.660
 and advisor

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:06.759
 God doesn't even

00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:07.579
 deign to speak

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:07.940
 to him

00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:08.640
 because Adam

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:09.279
 and Eve

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:10.600
 not the serpent

00:28:10.600 --> 00:28:11.799
 are his covenant

00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:12.200
 subjects

00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:13.559
 created in his image

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:14.840
 and he holds

00:28:14.840 --> 00:28:15.759
 them responsible

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.019
 and then God

00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:19.759
 utters a series

00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:20.759
 of curses

00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:21.620
 over creation

00:28:21.620 --> 00:28:22.400
 as consequences

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:22.920
 of sin

00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:23.880
 and this is tragic

00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:24.779
 because if you remember

00:28:24.779 --> 00:28:25.680
 from Genesis 1

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:27.140
 after each successive

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:28.160
 act of God's creation

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:28.840
 what does he do?

00:28:28.840 --> 00:28:30.279
 He blesses

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:32.119
 and now because of sin

00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:33.059
 he curses

00:28:33.059 --> 00:28:34.059
 his creation

00:28:34.059 --> 00:28:34.879
 verses 14

00:28:34.879 --> 00:28:36.180
 read with me

00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:37.079
 the Lord God

00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:38.399
 said to the serpent

00:28:38.399 --> 00:28:39.619
 because you have

00:28:39.619 --> 00:28:40.359
 done this

00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:41.519
 cursed are you

00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:42.740
 above all livestock

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:43.899
 and above all

00:28:43.899 --> 00:28:44.899
 beasts of the field

00:28:44.899 --> 00:28:45.740
 and on your belly

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:46.399
 you shall go

00:28:46.399 --> 00:28:47.420
 and thus you shall eat

00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:48.220
 all the days

00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:49.379
 of your life

00:28:49.379 --> 00:28:51.819
 now

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:53.240
 the serpent

00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:55.519
 was more crafty

00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:56.779
 but now he is

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:57.720
 more cursed

00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:58.960
 than all the beasts

00:28:58.960 --> 00:28:59.599
 of the field

00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:01.480
 and Leviticus 11

00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:02.740
 and Deuteronomy 14

00:29:02.740 --> 00:29:04.480
 describe that animals

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:05.819
 that go on their belly

00:29:05.819 --> 00:29:06.959
 are detestable

00:29:06.959 --> 00:29:08.719
 and unfit

00:29:08.719 --> 00:29:09.419
 for consumption

00:29:09.419 --> 00:29:10.619
 and unfit

00:29:10.619 --> 00:29:11.199
 to be offered

00:29:11.199 --> 00:29:12.419
 for sacrifice

00:29:12.419 --> 00:29:13.959
 and so here

00:29:13.959 --> 00:29:14.459
 the serpent

00:29:14.459 --> 00:29:14.959
 is cursed

00:29:14.959 --> 00:29:15.959
 to go on its belly

00:29:15.959 --> 00:29:17.079
 in fact the serpent

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:18.379
 violates all the normal

00:29:18.379 --> 00:29:19.119
 classifications

00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:19.859
 of animals

00:29:19.859 --> 00:29:20.899
 according to the Old Testament

00:29:20.899 --> 00:29:22.059
 doesn't fit neatly

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:23.179
 into any of the God's

00:29:23.179 --> 00:29:24.199
 created categories

00:29:24.199 --> 00:29:25.579
 it swarms

00:29:25.579 --> 00:29:26.539
 and it rides

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:27.799
 and so it makes it

00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:28.559
 the perfect

00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:29.879
 kind of a symbol

00:29:29.879 --> 00:29:30.440
 of everything

00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:32.159
 that is anti-God

00:29:32.159 --> 00:29:33.779
 anti-order of creation

00:29:33.779 --> 00:29:34.399
 so that's why

00:29:34.399 --> 00:29:34.839
 the serpent

00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:35.720
 I think is so fitting

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:36.859
 that's used here

00:29:36.859 --> 00:29:37.419
 so this is

00:29:37.419 --> 00:29:38.839
 and the punishment

00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:39.639
 is true

00:29:39.639 --> 00:29:40.399
 on both literal

00:29:40.399 --> 00:29:41.379
 and figurative levels

00:29:41.379 --> 00:29:41.619
 right

00:29:41.619 --> 00:29:42.179
 because literally

00:29:42.179 --> 00:29:43.559
 the serpent slithers

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:44.440
 on the ground

00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:45.200
 on the dust of the earth

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:45.779
 so it's really

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:46.440
 eating dust

00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:47.200
 all day long

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:48.379
 but more importantly

00:29:48.379 --> 00:29:49.099
 figuratively

00:29:49.099 --> 00:29:50.859
 eating dust

00:29:50.859 --> 00:29:52.019
 represents

00:29:52.019 --> 00:29:53.679
 abject humiliation

00:29:53.679 --> 00:29:55.359
 complete humiliation

00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:56.699
 that's what you do

00:29:56.699 --> 00:29:57.379
 to your enemies

00:29:57.379 --> 00:29:58.359
 after you conquer them

00:29:58.359 --> 00:29:58.959
 if you look at

00:29:58.959 --> 00:29:59.559
 the Old Testament

00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:00.859
 see Psalm 72

00:30:00.859 --> 00:30:01.259
 9

00:30:01.259 --> 00:30:02.339
 Solomon writes

00:30:02.339 --> 00:30:03.159
 that God's enemies

00:30:03.159 --> 00:30:04.579
 will lick the dust

00:30:04.579 --> 00:30:06.039
 so the serpent

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:06.939
 then will face

00:30:06.939 --> 00:30:08.219
 ultimate humiliation

00:30:08.219 --> 00:30:09.099
 and defeat

00:30:09.099 --> 00:30:09.959
 that's what that

00:30:09.959 --> 00:30:10.839
 punishment implies

00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:14.539
 and God's curse

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:15.639
 continues in verse 25

00:30:15.639 --> 00:30:16.459
 I will put enmity

00:30:16.459 --> 00:30:17.059
 between you

00:30:17.059 --> 00:30:17.599
 and the woman

00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:18.799
 and between your offspring

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:19.619
 and her offspring

00:30:19.619 --> 00:30:21.179
 he shall bruise your head

00:30:21.179 --> 00:30:22.000
 and you shall bruise

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:22.699
 his heel

00:30:22.700 --> 00:30:24.019
 I'll explain

00:30:24.019 --> 00:30:25.600
 the theological

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:26.440
 importance of this

00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:26.860
 later

00:30:26.860 --> 00:30:27.840
 but for now

00:30:27.840 --> 00:30:29.080
 this is literally true

00:30:29.080 --> 00:30:30.299
 the curse is still

00:30:30.299 --> 00:30:30.759
 very true

00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:31.880
 I read earlier this year

00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:32.840
 I think it was in January

00:30:32.840 --> 00:30:33.960
 in the Washington Post

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:35.460
 they ran a story

00:30:35.460 --> 00:30:36.299
 about how Florida

00:30:36.299 --> 00:30:37.460
 is losing its battle

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:38.360
 against snakes

00:30:38.360 --> 00:30:40.000
 the Everglades

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:40.700
 are being over

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.200
 you know

00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:41.960
 just overrun

00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:43.480
 by Burmese pythons

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:45.539
 they're destroying

00:30:45.539 --> 00:30:46.059
 the wildlife

00:30:46.059 --> 00:30:46.620
 in fact

00:30:46.620 --> 00:30:47.080
 they're driving

00:30:47.080 --> 00:30:47.539
 some of them

00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:48.240
 near extinction

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:48.980
 and so they had

00:30:48.980 --> 00:30:50.120
 to hire special

00:30:50.120 --> 00:30:50.799
 snake hunters

00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:51.360
 from India

00:30:51.360 --> 00:30:52.019
 to come over

00:30:52.019 --> 00:30:52.600
 and find them

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:53.819
 and it's still

00:30:53.819 --> 00:30:54.379
 a losing battle

00:30:54.379 --> 00:30:55.339
 this is still going on

00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:55.759
 women

00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:57.619
 their offspring

00:30:57.619 --> 00:30:58.039
 humanity

00:30:58.039 --> 00:30:58.939
 versus snakes

00:30:58.939 --> 00:31:00.259
 it's still going on

00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:01.219
 and of course

00:31:01.219 --> 00:31:02.000
 the favorite way

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.659
 to kill a snake

00:31:02.659 --> 00:31:03.699
 is to smash the head

00:31:03.699 --> 00:31:04.000
 right

00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:04.659
 I mean that's still

00:31:04.659 --> 00:31:07.659
 that's what's in view here

00:31:07.659 --> 00:31:09.399
 and then God turns

00:31:09.399 --> 00:31:09.759
 to the woman

00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:10.639
 in verse 16

00:31:10.639 --> 00:31:11.079
 and says

00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:12.019
 I will surely

00:31:12.019 --> 00:31:13.299
 multiply your pain

00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:14.039
 and childbearing

00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:14.959
 in pain

00:31:14.959 --> 00:31:16.000
 you shall bring forth

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:16.480
 children

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.199
 and notice

00:31:19.199 --> 00:31:20.099
 how merciful

00:31:20.099 --> 00:31:20.819
 God is here

00:31:20.819 --> 00:31:22.219
 I never noticed

00:31:22.220 --> 00:31:22.819
 this until

00:31:22.819 --> 00:31:24.019
 I was preparing

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:24.759
 for this sermon

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.319
 this week

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:26.319
 is that

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:26.799
 God

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:29.819
 he curses

00:31:29.819 --> 00:31:30.620
 his creation

00:31:30.620 --> 00:31:31.640
 but he never

00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:32.279
 curses

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:32.640
 his

00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:34.420
 man and a woman

00:31:34.420 --> 00:31:35.700
 he doesn't curse

00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:36.339
 the man and a woman

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:37.160
 he curses

00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:37.799
 the serpent

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:38.799
 and he curses

00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:39.400
 the ground

00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:40.579
 but he doesn't

00:31:40.579 --> 00:31:41.339
 curse man

00:31:41.339 --> 00:31:41.839
 and a woman

00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:43.440
 because they're

00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:43.980
 still his

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:45.400
 covenant people

00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:46.240
 because he still

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:46.860
 loves them

00:31:46.860 --> 00:31:47.079
 right

00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:50.199
 what happens

00:31:50.199 --> 00:31:50.539
 instead

00:31:50.539 --> 00:31:50.919
 is that

00:31:50.919 --> 00:31:51.659
 their spheres

00:31:51.659 --> 00:31:52.399
 are disrupted

00:31:52.399 --> 00:31:53.679
 their responsibilities

00:31:53.679 --> 00:31:54.500
 are now going to

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:55.039
 come with more

00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:55.519
 difficulty

00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:56.220
 and pain

00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:56.819
 pain

00:31:56.819 --> 00:31:57.220
 is the word

00:31:57.220 --> 00:31:57.539
 that's used

00:31:57.539 --> 00:31:58.000
 to describe

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.159
 them

00:31:58.159 --> 00:31:58.980
 but curse

00:31:58.980 --> 00:31:59.579
 is not used

00:31:59.579 --> 00:31:59.779
 of them

00:31:59.779 --> 00:32:00.099
 it's only

00:32:00.099 --> 00:32:00.299
 used

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:00.819
 of the serpent

00:32:00.819 --> 00:32:01.759
 and the ground

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:04.680
 and here

00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:05.000
 God

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:05.420
 addresses

00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:05.960
 the woman's

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:06.579
 childbearing

00:32:06.579 --> 00:32:07.200
 and later

00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:07.680
 the man's

00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:07.960
 work

00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:08.500
 not because

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:08.819
 the two

00:32:08.819 --> 00:32:09.180
 spheres

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:10.019
 never overlap

00:32:10.019 --> 00:32:11.039
 or because

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:11.579
 they ought

00:32:11.579 --> 00:32:11.839
 to be

00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:12.099
 strictly

00:32:12.099 --> 00:32:12.619
 separate

00:32:12.619 --> 00:32:13.700
 but because

00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:14.400
 they are

00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:14.720
 the woman

00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.379
 and the man's

00:32:15.379 --> 00:32:16.440
 primary spheres

00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:19.720
 the woman's

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:20.460
 primary orientation

00:32:20.460 --> 00:32:21.160
 is toward

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:21.640
 home

00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:22.019
 and toward

00:32:22.019 --> 00:32:22.640
 her children

00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:23.700
 note well

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:24.240
 that here

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:24.900
 childbearing

00:32:24.900 --> 00:32:25.240
 itself

00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:25.700
 is not

00:32:25.700 --> 00:32:26.220
 a curse

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:27.620
 there's not

00:32:27.620 --> 00:32:28.259
 pain in

00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:28.799
 childbearing

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:29.580
 but childbearing

00:32:29.580 --> 00:32:30.000
 is not

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:30.440
 a curse

00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:31.920
 and pain

00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:32.539
 of childbearing

00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:33.759
 before epidural

00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:34.900
 was one of the

00:32:34.900 --> 00:32:35.519
 bitterest pains

00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:36.340
 known to humanity

00:32:36.340 --> 00:32:38.460
 frequently led

00:32:38.460 --> 00:32:38.840
 to death

00:32:38.840 --> 00:32:43.120
 and if you

00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:43.340
 look at

00:32:43.340 --> 00:32:43.860
 Genesis 2

00:32:43.860 --> 00:32:44.220
 18

00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:44.799
 and 2

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:45.279
 23

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:45.900
 to 24

00:32:45.900 --> 00:32:46.640
 being a man's

00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:46.920
 helper

00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:47.400
 and the mother

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:47.840
 of children

00:32:47.840 --> 00:32:48.600
 constitute

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:49.440
 a unique

00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:50.380
 role of woman

00:32:50.380 --> 00:32:51.100
 and that's why

00:32:51.100 --> 00:32:51.680
 it's highlighted

00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:52.460
 here and singled

00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:52.900
 out as

00:32:52.900 --> 00:32:53.900
 woman's

00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:54.400
 sphere

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.000
 and giving

00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:56.640
 birth to

00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:56.940
 children

00:32:56.940 --> 00:32:57.759
 is seen

00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:58.080
 as

00:32:58.080 --> 00:32:59.220
 imitating

00:32:59.220 --> 00:32:59.600
 God

00:32:59.600 --> 00:32:59.960
 as his

00:32:59.960 --> 00:33:00.720
 image bearers

00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:01.480
 that's why

00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:01.860
 in Genesis

00:33:01.860 --> 00:33:02.280
 5

00:33:02.280 --> 00:33:02.560
 3

00:33:02.560 --> 00:33:02.880
 it says

00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:03.800
 Adam fathered

00:33:03.800 --> 00:33:04.380
 a son

00:33:04.380 --> 00:33:05.480
 in his

00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:06.680
 own likeness

00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:08.160
 after his

00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:08.759
 image

00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:10.259
 and named

00:33:10.259 --> 00:33:11.180
 him Seth

00:33:11.180 --> 00:33:12.660
 does sound

00:33:12.660 --> 00:33:13.880
 familiar to you

00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:14.740
 to procreate

00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:15.480
 procreation

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:16.079
 is described

00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:16.599
 in exactly

00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:17.059
 the same

00:33:17.059 --> 00:33:17.480
 terms

00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:18.259
 as God's

00:33:18.259 --> 00:33:18.799
 creation

00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:19.360
 of man

00:33:19.360 --> 00:33:19.819
 and woman

00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:20.599
 in Genesis

00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:20.980
 1

00:33:20.980 --> 00:33:21.400
 26

00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:22.079
 to 27

00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.559
 and of course

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:25.099
 the fact that

00:33:25.099 --> 00:33:25.759
 childbearing is

00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:26.460
 uniquely the

00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:27.099
 woman's

00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:27.700
 prerogative

00:33:27.700 --> 00:33:29.099
 is hardly a

00:33:29.099 --> 00:33:29.900
 striking insight

00:33:29.900 --> 00:33:31.380
 but many

00:33:31.380 --> 00:33:31.880
 women lose

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:32.559
 sight of this

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:33.440
 in a world

00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:34.019
 where gender

00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:34.700
 distinctions are

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:35.120
 blurred

00:33:35.120 --> 00:33:36.319
 and women are

00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:36.940
 encouraged to do

00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:37.880
 the same things

00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:38.680
 that men do

00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:39.440
 right

00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:40.539
 and the

00:33:40.539 --> 00:33:40.900
 late

00:33:40.900 --> 00:33:41.620
 Elizabeth

00:33:41.620 --> 00:33:42.039
 Fox

00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:42.440
 Genevieve

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:43.039
 who is a

00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:43.360
 feminist

00:33:43.360 --> 00:33:43.900
 historian

00:33:43.900 --> 00:33:44.460
 who directed

00:33:44.460 --> 00:33:45.019
 the women's

00:33:45.019 --> 00:33:45.299
 studies

00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:45.960
 department

00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:46.340
 at Emory

00:33:46.340 --> 00:33:46.860
 University

00:33:46.860 --> 00:33:47.900
 she writes

00:33:47.900 --> 00:33:48.380
 this in one

00:33:48.380 --> 00:33:48.559
 of her

00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:48.779
 books

00:33:48.779 --> 00:33:49.120
 she says

00:33:49.120 --> 00:33:50.180
 so long

00:33:50.180 --> 00:33:50.740
 as women

00:33:50.740 --> 00:33:51.700
 bear children

00:33:51.700 --> 00:33:52.420
 they will

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:52.940
 not be

00:33:52.940 --> 00:33:53.299
 identical

00:33:53.299 --> 00:33:53.840
 to men

00:33:53.840 --> 00:33:54.940
 and hence

00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:55.559
 not equal

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:56.000
 to them

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.220
 in the end

00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:57.700
 the best

00:33:57.700 --> 00:33:58.380
 explanation

00:33:58.380 --> 00:33:59.059
 for their

00:33:59.059 --> 00:33:59.880
 economic

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:00.539
 inequality

00:34:00.539 --> 00:34:01.600
 remains

00:34:01.600 --> 00:34:02.340
 women's

00:34:02.340 --> 00:34:02.799
 ability

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:03.299
 to bear

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:03.759
 children

00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:05.259
 the inequality

00:34:05.259 --> 00:34:05.799
 that no

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:06.440
 amount of

00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:07.180
 social policy

00:34:07.180 --> 00:34:07.860
 can erase

00:34:07.859 --> 00:34:09.420
 social policy

00:34:09.420 --> 00:34:10.000
 can erase

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:10.759
 the consequences

00:34:10.759 --> 00:34:11.159
 of that

00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:11.619
 inequality

00:34:11.619 --> 00:34:12.539
 but it is

00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:13.259
 unlikely to

00:34:13.259 --> 00:34:13.659
 accomplish

00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:14.380
 even that

00:34:14.380 --> 00:34:15.480
 much until

00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:16.199
 we replace

00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:16.679
 the feminist

00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:17.239
 quest for

00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:17.779
 an illusory

00:34:17.779 --> 00:34:18.279
 equality

00:34:18.279 --> 00:34:19.480
 with compassionate

00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:20.119
 attention to

00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:20.539
 the lives

00:34:20.539 --> 00:34:21.199
 most women

00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:22.199
 actually live

00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:24.839
 the unique

00:34:24.839 --> 00:34:25.480
 ability of the

00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:25.960
 woman to

00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:26.400
 bear children

00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:26.940
 should be

00:34:26.940 --> 00:34:27.679
 celebrated

00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:28.679
 not deprecated

00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:30.539
 and more

00:34:30.539 --> 00:34:30.980
 recently

00:34:30.980 --> 00:34:31.619
 in a New

00:34:31.619 --> 00:34:32.099
 York Times

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:33.000
 article

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.940
 it was

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:34.839
 Judith

00:34:34.839 --> 00:34:36.199
 Shulovic

00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:36.839
 she's also a

00:34:36.839 --> 00:34:37.500
 feminist author

00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:37.920
 writes

00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:38.579
 it's entitled

00:34:38.579 --> 00:34:39.099
 How to Fix

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:39.599
 Feminism

00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:40.340
 she writes

00:34:40.340 --> 00:34:40.699
 that Hillary

00:34:40.699 --> 00:34:41.179
 Clinton's

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:41.699
 generation

00:34:41.699 --> 00:34:42.219
 aimed to

00:34:42.219 --> 00:34:42.780
 free women

00:34:42.780 --> 00:34:43.480
 from domestic

00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:43.960
 prisons

00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:45.260
 but work

00:34:45.260 --> 00:34:46.079
 is a prison

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.460
 too

00:34:46.460 --> 00:34:49.079
 she writes

00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:49.880
 that most

00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:50.219
 feminist

00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:50.900
 policy makers

00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:51.380
 have often

00:34:51.380 --> 00:34:51.980
 focused on

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:52.679
 benefits for

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:53.300
 wage earning

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:53.619
 women

00:34:53.619 --> 00:34:54.119
 but then she

00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:54.500
 asked

00:34:54.500 --> 00:34:55.320
 what about

00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:55.719
 the women

00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:56.139
 who want

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:56.599
 to get out

00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:56.800
 of the

00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:57.099
 workplace

00:34:57.099 --> 00:34:57.519
 at least

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:58.039
 for a while

00:34:58.039 --> 00:34:59.880
 and then

00:34:59.880 --> 00:35:00.219
 points to

00:35:00.219 --> 00:35:00.539
 the bill

00:35:00.539 --> 00:35:00.760
 that

00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:01.320
 representative

00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:01.739
 Nita

00:35:01.739 --> 00:35:02.059
 Lowy

00:35:02.059 --> 00:35:02.460
 apparently

00:35:02.460 --> 00:35:02.900
 introduced

00:35:02.900 --> 00:35:03.179
 in New

00:35:03.179 --> 00:35:03.440
 York

00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:04.119
 which would

00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:04.320
 give

00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:04.940
 social security

00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:05.460
 credit to

00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:05.860
 caregivers

00:35:05.860 --> 00:35:06.900
 who left

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:07.280
 the labor

00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:07.599
 market

00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:07.940
 to cut

00:35:07.940 --> 00:35:08.340
 back on

00:35:08.340 --> 00:35:08.740
 hours

00:35:08.740 --> 00:35:09.620
 a public

00:35:09.620 --> 00:35:10.019
 nod to

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:10.519
 the reality

00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:11.160
 that care

00:35:11.160 --> 00:35:12.099
 is work

00:35:12.099 --> 00:35:13.039
 and caregivers

00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:13.920
 merit the same

00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:14.640
 benefits as

00:35:14.640 --> 00:35:15.559
 other workers

00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:17.640
 mothering is

00:35:17.640 --> 00:35:18.440
 real work

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:20.680
 mothering is

00:35:20.680 --> 00:35:21.620
 hard work

00:35:21.620 --> 00:35:23.500
 mothering is

00:35:23.500 --> 00:35:24.680
 significant work

00:35:24.680 --> 00:35:26.880
 and this is

00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:27.740
 especially appropriate

00:35:27.740 --> 00:35:28.460
 on Mother's Day

00:35:28.460 --> 00:35:32.119
 mothers should

00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:32.780
 be honored

00:35:32.780 --> 00:35:33.559
 not just

00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:34.220
 on Mother's

00:35:34.220 --> 00:35:34.340
 Day

00:35:34.340 --> 00:35:34.920
 but every

00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:35.139
 day

00:35:35.139 --> 00:35:35.500
 for their

00:35:35.500 --> 00:35:36.179
 invaluable

00:35:36.179 --> 00:35:36.980
 contribution

00:35:36.980 --> 00:35:38.780
 and irreplaceable

00:35:38.780 --> 00:35:39.360
 contribution

00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:40.119
 to society

00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:41.220
 and even

00:35:41.220 --> 00:35:41.860
 more importantly

00:35:41.860 --> 00:35:42.340
 for their

00:35:42.340 --> 00:35:42.960
 irreplaceable

00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:43.500
 contribution

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:44.280
 to fulfilling

00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:44.860
 God's

00:35:44.860 --> 00:35:45.199
 intention

00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:45.900
 for humanity

00:35:45.900 --> 00:35:50.420
 having children

00:35:50.420 --> 00:35:51.119
 being a parent

00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:51.860
 is uniformly

00:35:51.860 --> 00:35:52.519
 seen as a

00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:52.780
 blessing

00:35:52.780 --> 00:35:53.059
 throughout

00:35:53.059 --> 00:35:53.500
 scripture

00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:54.079
 consider

00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:54.960
 psalm 127

00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:55.460
 3

00:35:55.460 --> 00:35:55.900
 behold

00:35:55.900 --> 00:35:56.539
 children

00:35:56.539 --> 00:35:56.940
 are a

00:35:56.940 --> 00:35:57.260
 heritage

00:35:57.260 --> 00:35:57.760
 from the

00:35:57.760 --> 00:35:58.000
 Lord

00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:58.620
 the fruit

00:35:58.620 --> 00:35:58.920
 of the

00:35:58.920 --> 00:35:59.220
 womb

00:35:59.220 --> 00:36:00.100
 of reward

00:36:00.100 --> 00:36:01.800
 but unfortunately

00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:02.460
 this is

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:03.040
 we have

00:36:03.040 --> 00:36:03.500
 in our

00:36:03.500 --> 00:36:03.760
 culture

00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:04.080
 have an

00:36:04.080 --> 00:36:04.540
 ambivalent

00:36:04.540 --> 00:36:04.900
 view of

00:36:04.900 --> 00:36:05.180
 children

00:36:05.180 --> 00:36:06.440
 on the

00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:06.820
 one hand

00:36:06.820 --> 00:36:07.280
 most couples

00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:07.660
 still want

00:36:07.660 --> 00:36:07.900
 to have

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:08.200
 children

00:36:08.200 --> 00:36:08.840
 are disappointed

00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:09.260
 when their

00:36:09.260 --> 00:36:09.600
 attempts

00:36:09.600 --> 00:36:10.000
 fail

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:11.000
 but on the

00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:11.540
 other hand

00:36:11.540 --> 00:36:12.100
 many couples

00:36:12.100 --> 00:36:12.680
 also delay

00:36:12.680 --> 00:36:13.240
 having children

00:36:13.240 --> 00:36:13.780
 for as long

00:36:13.780 --> 00:36:14.380
 as possible

00:36:14.380 --> 00:36:15.220
 in order to

00:36:15.220 --> 00:36:15.680
 pursue

00:36:15.680 --> 00:36:16.880
 their careers

00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:17.300
 and attain

00:36:17.300 --> 00:36:18.300
 financial stability

00:36:18.300 --> 00:36:20.420
 now there is

00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:20.880
 no strong

00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:21.580
 scriptural case

00:36:21.580 --> 00:36:22.140
 against

00:36:22.140 --> 00:36:22.940
 postponing

00:36:22.940 --> 00:36:23.680
 having children

00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:25.720
 sometimes

00:36:25.720 --> 00:36:26.360
 delaying

00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:27.240
 can help

00:36:27.240 --> 00:36:27.700
 a couple

00:36:27.700 --> 00:36:28.539
 to focus

00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:29.320
 on their

00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:30.140
 new relationship

00:36:30.140 --> 00:36:31.039
 especially during

00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:31.519
 their early

00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:32.599
 difficult years

00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:33.180
 of marriage

00:36:33.180 --> 00:36:33.800
 for some

00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:35.500
 but with that

00:36:35.500 --> 00:36:36.120
 said I can't

00:36:36.120 --> 00:36:36.480
 say that the

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:37.220
 bible recommends

00:36:37.220 --> 00:36:37.860
 such a delay

00:36:37.860 --> 00:36:38.140
 either

00:36:38.140 --> 00:36:40.160
 and we have

00:36:40.160 --> 00:36:40.599
 to examine

00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:41.140
 our hearts

00:36:41.140 --> 00:36:41.700
 to see

00:36:41.700 --> 00:36:42.039
 if our

00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:42.380
 attitudes

00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:42.820
 to see

00:36:42.820 --> 00:36:43.079
 if there

00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:43.720
 isn't an

00:36:43.720 --> 00:36:44.340
 unbiblical

00:36:44.340 --> 00:36:45.360
 devaluation

00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:46.019
 of children

00:36:46.019 --> 00:36:49.480
 and nowadays

00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:49.900
 even the

00:36:49.900 --> 00:36:50.559
 people who

00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:51.220
 want children

00:36:51.220 --> 00:36:51.920
 often see them

00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:52.440
 as a burden

00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:52.780
 right

00:36:52.780 --> 00:36:53.900
 I saw

00:36:53.900 --> 00:36:54.340
 a meme

00:36:54.340 --> 00:36:54.960
 recently

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:55.820
 and yes

00:36:55.820 --> 00:36:56.060
 Steve

00:36:56.060 --> 00:36:56.400
 I do know

00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:56.600
 what a

00:36:56.600 --> 00:36:57.040
 meme is

00:36:57.040 --> 00:36:59.180
 it has a

00:36:59.180 --> 00:36:59.700
 drawing of

00:36:59.700 --> 00:37:00.100
 a baby

00:37:00.100 --> 00:37:00.519
 on it

00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:01.440
 and it

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:01.740
 reads

00:37:01.740 --> 00:37:02.480
 sometimes

00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:03.600
 when I get

00:37:03.600 --> 00:37:04.120
 sad about

00:37:04.120 --> 00:37:04.560
 not having

00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:04.920
 kids

00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:05.660
 I sleep

00:37:05.660 --> 00:37:06.260
 until noon

00:37:06.260 --> 00:37:06.860
 don't cook

00:37:06.860 --> 00:37:07.140
 or do

00:37:07.140 --> 00:37:07.380
 laundry

00:37:07.380 --> 00:37:07.700
 for a

00:37:07.700 --> 00:37:07.920
 week

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:08.340
 watch

00:37:08.340 --> 00:37:08.700
 everything

00:37:08.700 --> 00:37:09.480
 but cartoons

00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:09.920
 and buy

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.300
 myself

00:37:10.300 --> 00:37:10.780
 a gift

00:37:10.780 --> 00:37:12.420
 yeah

00:37:12.420 --> 00:37:14.360
 it's funny

00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:14.620
 right

00:37:14.620 --> 00:37:14.980
 but it's

00:37:14.980 --> 00:37:15.580
 also selfish

00:37:15.580 --> 00:37:16.680
 isn't it

00:37:16.680 --> 00:37:17.280
 and even

00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:17.840
 childish

00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:19.200
 right

00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.079
 our parents

00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:21.699
 or someone

00:37:21.699 --> 00:37:22.139
 else

00:37:22.139 --> 00:37:23.259
 made all

00:37:23.259 --> 00:37:24.199
 those sacrifices

00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:24.759
 to raise

00:37:24.759 --> 00:37:25.079
 us

00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:25.500
 but we're

00:37:25.500 --> 00:37:25.919
 not willing

00:37:25.919 --> 00:37:26.299
 to make

00:37:26.299 --> 00:37:27.139
 those sacrifices

00:37:27.139 --> 00:37:27.639
 for our

00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:27.980
 children

00:37:27.980 --> 00:37:30.519
 so what

00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:31.059
 if we can't

00:37:31.059 --> 00:37:31.579
 sleep until

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:31.960
 noon

00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:32.899
 you don't get

00:37:32.899 --> 00:37:33.359
 to watch

00:37:33.359 --> 00:37:33.719
 any of your

00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:34.199
 favorite tv

00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:34.599
 shows

00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:34.839
 and you

00:37:34.839 --> 00:37:35.099
 have to

00:37:35.099 --> 00:37:35.419
 cook

00:37:35.419 --> 00:37:35.659
 and do

00:37:35.659 --> 00:37:36.039
 laundry

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:36.500
 all the

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:36.899
 time

00:37:36.899 --> 00:37:38.019
 so that

00:37:38.019 --> 00:37:38.379
 so what

00:37:38.379 --> 00:37:38.599
 if you

00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:38.859
 have to

00:37:38.859 --> 00:37:39.179
 give up

00:37:39.179 --> 00:37:39.799
 being able

00:37:39.799 --> 00:37:40.079
 to eat

00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:40.279
 out

00:37:40.279 --> 00:37:40.579
 all the

00:37:40.579 --> 00:37:40.819
 time

00:37:40.819 --> 00:37:41.059
 because

00:37:41.059 --> 00:37:41.399
 you have

00:37:41.399 --> 00:37:41.699
 to take

00:37:41.699 --> 00:37:41.879
 care

00:37:41.879 --> 00:37:42.099
 of your

00:37:42.099 --> 00:37:42.419
 kid

00:37:42.419 --> 00:37:43.299
 or to

00:37:43.299 --> 00:37:43.579
 provide

00:37:43.579 --> 00:37:43.899
 for your

00:37:43.899 --> 00:37:44.179
 kid

00:37:44.179 --> 00:37:46.399
 what if

00:37:46.399 --> 00:37:46.679
 we have

00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:46.980
 to give

00:37:46.980 --> 00:37:47.500
 up personal

00:37:47.500 --> 00:37:47.960
 downtime

00:37:47.980 --> 00:37:48.359
 so that

00:37:48.359 --> 00:37:48.599
 we have

00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:49.659
 time to

00:37:49.659 --> 00:37:50.000
 play with

00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:50.139
 our

00:37:50.139 --> 00:37:50.460
 children

00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:51.480
 we're

00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:51.860
 raising

00:37:51.860 --> 00:37:52.179
 up

00:37:52.179 --> 00:37:52.619
 another

00:37:52.619 --> 00:37:53.119
 human

00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:53.699
 being

00:37:53.699 --> 00:37:54.400
 made

00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:54.940
 in the

00:37:54.940 --> 00:37:55.360
 image

00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:55.659
 of

00:37:55.659 --> 00:37:56.119
 God

00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:58.980
 they

00:37:58.980 --> 00:37:59.179
 will

00:37:59.179 --> 00:37:59.400
 either

00:37:59.400 --> 00:37:59.739
 live

00:37:59.739 --> 00:38:00.179
 forever

00:38:00.179 --> 00:38:00.519
 with

00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:00.900
 God

00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:01.380
 or

00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:01.739
 perish

00:38:01.739 --> 00:38:02.059
 without

00:38:02.059 --> 00:38:02.279
 him

00:38:02.279 --> 00:38:02.719
 is that

00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:03.079
 not

00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:03.339
 a

00:38:03.339 --> 00:38:03.759
 worthy

00:38:03.759 --> 00:38:04.420
 weighty

00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:04.719
 task

00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:05.039
 to give

00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:05.380
 ourselves

00:38:05.380 --> 00:38:05.679
 to

00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:08.639
 let's

00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:09.019
 not let

00:38:09.019 --> 00:38:09.159
 our

00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:09.440
 children

00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:09.819
 grow up

00:38:09.819 --> 00:38:09.960
 with

00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:10.079
 the

00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:10.400
 impression

00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:10.599
 that

00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:10.699
 they

00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:10.799
 are

00:38:10.799 --> 00:38:10.920
 an

00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:11.579
 inconvenience

00:38:11.579 --> 00:38:11.759
 to

00:38:11.759 --> 00:38:11.960
 us

00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:12.099
 or

00:38:12.099 --> 00:38:12.219
 a

00:38:12.219 --> 00:38:12.679
 nuisance

00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:16.099
 this

00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:16.279
 kind

00:38:16.279 --> 00:38:16.400
 of

00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:16.699
 self

00:38:16.699 --> 00:38:16.980
 giving

00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:17.559
 sacrificial

00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:17.839
 love

00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:18.000
 should

00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:18.240
 not

00:38:18.240 --> 00:38:18.460
 be

00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:18.680
 foreign

00:38:18.680 --> 00:38:18.880
 to

00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:19.160
 people

00:38:19.160 --> 00:38:19.340
 who

00:38:19.340 --> 00:38:19.760
 follow

00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:20.140
 a

00:38:20.140 --> 00:38:20.579
 crucified

00:38:20.579 --> 00:38:21.120
 savior

00:38:21.120 --> 00:38:21.539
 who gave

00:38:21.539 --> 00:38:21.700
 his

00:38:21.700 --> 00:38:22.120
 life

00:38:22.120 --> 00:38:23.039
 to save

00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:23.640
 sinners

00:38:23.640 --> 00:38:25.960
 perhaps

00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:26.600
 you're a single

00:38:26.600 --> 00:38:27.220
 woman or

00:38:27.220 --> 00:38:28.980
 married but

00:38:28.980 --> 00:38:30.059
 for one reason

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:30.920
 or another is unable

00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:32.039
 children

00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:34.420
 if so let me

00:38:34.420 --> 00:38:35.160
 encourage you by

00:38:35.160 --> 00:38:35.880
 telling of another

00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:36.840
 way you can fulfill

00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:37.700

00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:51.260
 of the family of

00:38:51.260 --> 00:38:52.320
 God which will

00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:53.099
 outlast the

00:38:53.099 --> 00:38:53.960
 biological family

 encourage him as

 church there

00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:14.659
 are numerous

00:39:14.659 --> 00:39:15.899
 opportunities for

00:39:15.899 --> 00:39:16.959
 all the women to

00:39:16.959 --> 00:39:17.659
 be mothers

00:39:17.659 --> 00:39:19.919
 to function as

 spiritual mothers

00:39:20.759 --> 00:39:22.319

 mother's day aside

00:39:32.319 --> 00:39:32.859
 it was a little bit

00:39:32.859 --> 00:39:34.299
 long but now

00:39:34.299 --> 00:39:35.879

 verse 16

00:39:36.699 --> 00:39:37.519
 and you can read

00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:38.399
 the second half of

00:39:38.399 --> 00:39:39.279
 what God tells

00:39:39.279 --> 00:39:39.859
 women

00:39:39.860 --> 00:39:41.240
 so your desire

00:39:41.240 --> 00:39:42.200
 shall be contrary

00:39:42.200 --> 00:39:42.960
 to your husband

00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:43.740
 but he shall

00:39:43.740 --> 00:39:45.160
 rule over you

00:39:45.160 --> 00:39:46.960
 it's not immediately

00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:47.700
 apparent what this

00:39:47.700 --> 00:39:48.400
 verse means but

00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:49.660
 it becomes clear if

00:39:49.660 --> 00:39:50.559
 you compare it to a

00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:52.900
 very close parallel

00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:54.099
 in Genesis 4 7

00:39:54.099 --> 00:39:55.300
 where God tells

00:39:55.300 --> 00:39:55.780
 Cain

00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:57.360
 if you do well

00:39:57.360 --> 00:39:58.200
 will you not be

00:39:58.200 --> 00:39:58.620
 accepted

00:39:58.620 --> 00:39:59.720
 and if you do not

00:39:59.720 --> 00:40:00.180
 do well

00:40:00.180 --> 00:40:01.320
 sin is crouching

00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:01.860
 at the door

00:40:01.860 --> 00:40:03.200
 its desire

00:40:03.200 --> 00:40:04.400
 is contrary to

00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:04.720
 you

00:40:04.720 --> 00:40:05.640
 but you must

00:40:05.640 --> 00:40:06.680
 rule over it

00:40:06.680 --> 00:40:06.960
 right

00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:07.960
 so same pair of

00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:08.640
 words desire

00:40:08.640 --> 00:40:09.579
 and rule

00:40:09.579 --> 00:40:10.559
 and they can

00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:11.259
 so that helps

00:40:11.259 --> 00:40:11.920
 us to understand

00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:12.139
 it

00:40:12.139 --> 00:40:12.659
 so once again

00:40:12.659 --> 00:40:13.840
 the word desire

00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:14.360
 is conscious

00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:15.000
 with rule

00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:15.559
 so it seems

00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:16.380
 to be a desire

00:40:16.380 --> 00:40:17.880
 to have

00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:18.900
 to control

00:40:18.900 --> 00:40:19.860
 to take possession

00:40:19.860 --> 00:40:20.059
 of

00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:20.739
 so the sin

00:40:20.739 --> 00:40:21.579
 desire

00:40:21.579 --> 00:40:23.199
 is to have

00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:23.639
 its way

00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:24.219
 with Cain

00:40:24.219 --> 00:40:25.920
 but Cain

00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:26.719
 must master it

00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:27.539
 must rule over it

00:40:27.539 --> 00:40:28.340
 and here

00:40:28.340 --> 00:40:29.579
 God declares

00:40:29.579 --> 00:40:30.599
 that the wife's

00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:31.079
 desire

00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:31.900
 will be to have

00:40:31.900 --> 00:40:32.460
 her way

00:40:32.460 --> 00:40:33.380
 with her husband

00:40:33.380 --> 00:40:34.900
 to rule over her

00:40:34.900 --> 00:40:35.420
 to control

00:40:35.420 --> 00:40:36.559
 but instead

00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:37.139
 the husband

00:40:37.139 --> 00:40:38.460
 will rule

00:40:38.460 --> 00:40:39.059
 over her

00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:39.599
 and the word

00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:40.519
 rule here

00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:41.820
 means to lord it

00:40:41.820 --> 00:40:42.420
 over someone

00:40:42.420 --> 00:40:43.800
 to dominate someone

00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:44.720
 it's a corruption

00:40:44.720 --> 00:40:46.340
 of the husband's

00:40:46.340 --> 00:40:47.079
 God given call

00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:47.780
 to headship

00:40:47.780 --> 00:40:49.619
 to represent

00:40:49.619 --> 00:40:50.720
 and take responsibly

00:40:50.720 --> 00:40:51.320
 for his wife

00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:52.400
 so instead

00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:52.800
 the husband

00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:53.240
 will be tempted

00:40:53.240 --> 00:40:53.980
 to make idol

00:40:53.980 --> 00:40:54.579
 a power

00:40:54.579 --> 00:40:55.840
 and to abuse

00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:57.180
 and rule over

00:40:57.180 --> 00:40:57.740
 his wife

00:40:57.740 --> 00:40:59.159
 and the histories

00:40:59.159 --> 00:40:59.800
 and literatures

00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:00.920
 of every culture

00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:02.079
 and every time

00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:03.059
 is littered

00:41:03.059 --> 00:41:03.779
 with examples

00:41:03.779 --> 00:41:05.000
 of male domination

00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:05.980
 and abuse

00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:06.440
 of women

00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:08.619
 this pronouncement

00:41:08.619 --> 00:41:09.400
 is all too true

00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:13.159
 and lastly

00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:14.380
 God turns to Adam

00:41:14.380 --> 00:41:15.440
 in verse 17

00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:17.000
 sorry it sounds

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:17.739
 so hopeless guys

00:41:17.739 --> 00:41:18.440
 the hope is coming

00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:18.920
 at the end

00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:21.799
 lastly God turns

00:41:21.799 --> 00:41:22.059
 to Adam

00:41:22.059 --> 00:41:22.659
 in verse 17

00:41:22.659 --> 00:41:22.840
 it says

00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:23.519
 because you have

00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:24.519
 listened to the voice

00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:25.059
 of your wife

00:41:25.059 --> 00:41:25.559
 and have eaten

00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:26.099
 of the tree

00:41:26.099 --> 00:41:27.119
 of which I commanded you

00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:27.940
 you shall not eat

00:41:27.940 --> 00:41:28.320
 of it

00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:29.460
 cursed is the ground

00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:30.179
 because of you

00:41:30.179 --> 00:41:31.000
 in pain

00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:31.820
 you shall eat of it

00:41:31.820 --> 00:41:32.500
 all the days

00:41:32.500 --> 00:41:33.159
 of your life

00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:35.480
 for the woman

00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:35.820
 there is now

00:41:35.820 --> 00:41:36.679
 pain in childbearing

00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:37.420
 and for the man

00:41:37.420 --> 00:41:38.320
 now there is pain

00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:39.380
 in ground working

00:41:39.380 --> 00:41:40.780
 and the word

00:41:40.780 --> 00:41:41.860
 listen in Hebrew

00:41:41.860 --> 00:41:42.800
 has the same nuance

00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:43.280
 as the word

00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:43.940
 for obey

00:41:43.940 --> 00:41:45.199
 so here

00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:46.260
 again is God's

00:41:46.260 --> 00:41:46.820
 indictment

00:41:46.820 --> 00:41:47.679
 of Adam

00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:48.780
 he ought to have

00:41:48.780 --> 00:41:49.739
 represented Eve

00:41:49.739 --> 00:41:50.599
 and taken responsibility

00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:51.239
 for her

00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:51.860
 but instead

00:41:51.860 --> 00:41:52.559
 he passively

00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:53.219
 obeyed her

00:41:53.219 --> 00:41:54.380
 because you have

00:41:54.380 --> 00:41:55.179
 listened to the voice

00:41:55.179 --> 00:41:55.739
 of your wife

00:41:55.739 --> 00:41:56.619
 and have eaten

00:41:56.619 --> 00:41:57.079
 of the tree

00:41:57.079 --> 00:41:57.880
 of which I

00:41:57.880 --> 00:41:58.679
 commanded you

00:41:58.679 --> 00:41:59.659
 you shall not

00:41:59.659 --> 00:42:00.260
 eat of it

00:42:00.260 --> 00:42:01.539
 cursed is the ground

00:42:01.539 --> 00:42:02.199
 because of you

00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:02.659
 in pain

00:42:02.659 --> 00:42:03.239
 you shall eat

00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:03.440
 of it

00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:04.039
 all the days

00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:04.519
 of your life

00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:05.480
 thorns and

00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:05.840
 thistle

00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:06.840
 shall bring forth

00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:07.400
 for you

00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:08.059
 and you shall

00:42:08.059 --> 00:42:08.900
 eat the plants

00:42:08.900 --> 00:42:09.599
 of the field

00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:11.380
 by the sweat

00:42:11.380 --> 00:42:11.980
 of your face

00:42:11.980 --> 00:42:12.639
 you shall eat

00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:12.940
 bread

00:42:12.940 --> 00:42:13.639
 till you return

00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:14.279
 to the ground

00:42:14.279 --> 00:42:15.239
 for out of it

00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:15.840
 you were taken

00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:16.779
 for you are dust

00:42:16.779 --> 00:42:17.480
 and to dust

00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:18.579
 you shall return

00:42:18.579 --> 00:42:21.500
 this is the reason

00:42:21.500 --> 00:42:22.159
 why work

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:23.119
 is work

00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:26.599
 no matter

00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:27.139
 what kind

00:42:27.139 --> 00:42:27.420
 of work

00:42:27.420 --> 00:42:27.840
 you do

00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:28.500
 work

00:42:28.500 --> 00:42:29.059
 is tough

00:42:29.059 --> 00:42:30.820
 right

00:42:30.820 --> 00:42:32.240
 and there are

00:42:32.240 --> 00:42:32.760
 days when you

00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:33.200
 don't want to

00:42:33.200 --> 00:42:33.500
 work

00:42:33.500 --> 00:42:35.200
 and I know

00:42:35.200 --> 00:42:36.059
 this empirically

00:42:36.059 --> 00:42:37.039
 because I have

00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:37.700
 the best job

00:42:37.700 --> 00:42:38.200
 in the world

00:42:38.200 --> 00:42:39.579
 and there are

00:42:39.579 --> 00:42:40.340
 still days

00:42:40.340 --> 00:42:40.960
 when I don't

00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:41.660
 want to work

00:42:41.660 --> 00:42:49.200
 that's why

00:42:49.200 --> 00:42:49.700
 the mantra

00:42:49.700 --> 00:42:50.660
 to do

00:42:50.660 --> 00:42:51.460
 what you love

00:42:51.460 --> 00:42:51.860
 and you'll

00:42:51.860 --> 00:42:52.380
 never work

00:42:52.380 --> 00:42:52.860
 a day in your

00:42:52.860 --> 00:42:53.720
 life is naive

00:42:53.720 --> 00:42:54.320
 and misleading

00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:58.140
 it's really

00:42:58.140 --> 00:42:58.800
 an ideological

00:42:58.800 --> 00:42:59.880
 tool of capitalism

00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:00.860
 to exploit

00:43:00.860 --> 00:43:01.640
 laborers

00:43:01.640 --> 00:43:02.360
 when you

00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:03.100
 recognize work

00:43:03.100 --> 00:43:03.519
 as work

00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:04.059
 you could put

00:43:04.059 --> 00:43:04.500
 appropriate

00:43:04.500 --> 00:43:05.340
 boundaries on it

00:43:05.340 --> 00:43:06.920
 protect yourself

00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:07.620
 so you have

00:43:07.620 --> 00:43:07.940
 time

00:43:07.940 --> 00:43:09.460
 for personal

00:43:09.460 --> 00:43:10.440
 things

00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:11.180
 and for family

00:43:11.180 --> 00:43:11.519
 things

00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:12.500
 but when you

00:43:12.500 --> 00:43:13.300
 think of work

00:43:13.300 --> 00:43:14.140
 as not work

00:43:14.140 --> 00:43:14.760
 then it just

00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:15.980
 bleeds over

00:43:15.980 --> 00:43:16.700
 all of your life

00:43:16.700 --> 00:43:18.019
 it runs your life

00:43:18.019 --> 00:43:21.760
 the biblical

00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:22.720
 perspective on work

00:43:22.720 --> 00:43:23.660
 is unparalleled

00:43:23.659 --> 00:43:24.480
 and its balance

00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:25.639
 on the one hand

00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:27.000
 work is not a curse

00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:28.480
 so Adam was placed

00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:28.859
 in the garden

00:43:28.859 --> 00:43:29.639
 to work it

00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:30.639
 before the fall

00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:31.179
 of humanity

00:43:31.179 --> 00:43:32.299
 so we shouldn't

00:43:32.299 --> 00:43:32.819
 think of work

00:43:32.819 --> 00:43:33.119
 as something

00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:33.699
 to avoid

00:43:33.699 --> 00:43:34.359
 or escape

00:43:34.359 --> 00:43:35.059
 in fact

00:43:35.059 --> 00:43:36.259
 it confers

00:43:36.259 --> 00:43:36.879
 dignity

00:43:36.879 --> 00:43:38.039
 when we work

00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:38.599
 we're imitating

00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:39.920
 God who works

00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:41.139
 who created the world

00:43:41.139 --> 00:43:42.960
 but on the other hand

00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:44.420
 work is cursed

00:43:44.420 --> 00:43:45.879
 it's not a curse

00:43:45.879 --> 00:43:46.920
 but it is cursed

00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:48.059
 so we shouldn't

00:43:48.059 --> 00:43:48.879
 naively think

00:43:48.879 --> 00:43:49.420
 that it's all

00:43:49.420 --> 00:43:50.119
 going to be roses

00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:51.139
 when we pursue

00:43:51.139 --> 00:43:51.679
 our work

00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:53.039
 there's pain

00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:53.699
 involved

00:43:53.699 --> 00:43:55.139
 setbacks

00:43:55.139 --> 00:43:56.139
 disappointments

00:43:56.139 --> 00:43:57.019
 difficulties

00:43:57.019 --> 00:43:57.859
 with every

00:43:57.859 --> 00:43:58.759
 type of work

00:43:58.759 --> 00:44:05.960
 and that's

00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:06.619
 not the worst

00:44:06.619 --> 00:44:07.359
 of the punishments

00:44:07.359 --> 00:44:10.099
 and by the way

00:44:10.099 --> 00:44:10.940
 I mentioned to you

00:44:10.940 --> 00:44:11.500
 last week

00:44:11.500 --> 00:44:12.259
 a couple books

00:44:12.259 --> 00:44:13.299
 that deal with

00:44:13.299 --> 00:44:13.879
 these chapters

00:44:13.879 --> 00:44:14.819
 covered in chapter 2

00:44:14.819 --> 00:44:15.159
 and 3

00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:16.419
 we bought some copies

00:44:16.419 --> 00:44:17.839
 so that if you guys

00:44:17.839 --> 00:44:18.440
 are really interested

00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:19.079
 and want to read it

00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:20.539
 you could grab one

00:44:20.539 --> 00:44:22.059
 if there's not enough

00:44:22.059 --> 00:44:22.820
 for you at the end

00:44:22.820 --> 00:44:24.539
 you could borrow it

00:44:24.539 --> 00:44:25.599
 from someone

00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:26.559
 in the church

00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:27.759
 or buy it yourself

00:44:27.759 --> 00:44:28.420
 as well

00:44:28.420 --> 00:44:30.380
 and so that's not

00:44:30.380 --> 00:44:31.139
 the worst of the punishment

00:44:31.139 --> 00:44:32.219
 it says in verses 22

00:44:32.219 --> 00:44:32.820
 to 24

00:44:32.820 --> 00:44:34.360
 then the Lord God

00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:34.739
 said

00:44:34.739 --> 00:44:36.019
 behold the man

00:44:36.019 --> 00:44:36.820
 has become like

00:44:36.820 --> 00:44:37.360
 one of us

00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:37.980
 in knowing good

00:44:37.980 --> 00:44:38.420
 and evil

00:44:38.420 --> 00:44:39.820
 now lest he reach

00:44:39.820 --> 00:44:40.460
 out his hand

00:44:40.460 --> 00:44:41.019
 and take also

00:44:41.019 --> 00:44:41.840
 the tree of life

00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:42.259
 and eat

00:44:42.259 --> 00:44:43.000
 and live forever

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:44.340
 therefore

00:44:44.340 --> 00:44:45.539
 the Lord God

00:44:45.539 --> 00:44:46.199
 sent him out

00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:46.759
 from the garden

00:44:46.759 --> 00:44:47.079
 of Eden

00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:48.000
 to work the ground

00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:49.019
 from which he was taken

00:44:49.019 --> 00:44:50.380
 he drove out the man

00:44:50.380 --> 00:44:51.619
 and at the east

00:44:51.619 --> 00:44:52.079
 of the garden

00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:52.420
 of Eden

00:44:52.420 --> 00:44:53.460
 he placed a cherubim

00:44:53.460 --> 00:44:54.340
 and a flaming sword

00:44:54.340 --> 00:44:55.179
 that turned every way

00:44:55.179 --> 00:44:55.960
 to guard the way

00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:57.179
 to the tree of life

00:44:57.179 --> 00:45:01.719
 so they're expelled

00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:02.820
 banished

00:45:02.820 --> 00:45:03.400
 from the garden

00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:03.820
 of Eden

00:45:03.820 --> 00:45:06.280
 they thought

00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:06.800
 they would become

00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:07.400
 like God

00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:08.199
 in the full sense

00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:09.800
 but instead

00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:11.179
 they just gained

00:45:11.179 --> 00:45:11.860
 knowledge of good

00:45:11.860 --> 00:45:12.239
 and evil

00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:13.300
 which separates

00:45:13.300 --> 00:45:14.099
 and alienates them

00:45:14.099 --> 00:45:14.960
 from God further

00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:20.059
 and God

00:45:20.059 --> 00:45:20.780
 banishes them

00:45:20.780 --> 00:45:21.440
 and this is an act

00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:21.980
 of grace

00:45:21.980 --> 00:45:22.380
 he says

00:45:22.380 --> 00:45:23.220
 lest he reach

00:45:23.220 --> 00:45:24.000
 out his hand

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:24.900
 and take also

00:45:24.900 --> 00:45:25.800
 of the tree of life

00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:26.159
 and eat

00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:26.920
 and live forever

00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:28.099
 because if he reaches

00:45:28.099 --> 00:45:29.099
 out for the tree of life

00:45:29.099 --> 00:45:29.699
 and eats it

00:45:29.699 --> 00:45:30.500
 in his state

00:45:30.500 --> 00:45:31.280
 of alienation

00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:31.940
 from God

00:45:31.940 --> 00:45:33.360
 he will be in

00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:34.340
 forever a state

00:45:34.340 --> 00:45:34.920
 of rebellion

00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:36.159
 and alienation

00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:36.820
 from God

00:45:36.820 --> 00:45:37.360
 because there will be

00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:38.519
 no life to seek

00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:43.159
 so God

00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:43.860
 banishes him

00:45:43.860 --> 00:45:44.559
 because there can only

00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:45.700
 be life in him

00:45:45.700 --> 00:45:49.380
 with every death

00:45:49.380 --> 00:45:52.340
 every page

00:45:52.340 --> 00:45:53.120
 in the obituary

00:45:53.120 --> 00:45:53.700
 reminder

00:45:53.700 --> 00:45:54.660
 that something

00:45:54.660 --> 00:45:55.260
 is amiss

00:45:55.260 --> 00:45:56.420
 that we need God

00:45:56.420 --> 00:45:58.000
 that only he can

00:45:58.000 --> 00:45:59.079
 give us eternal life

00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:00.539
 but wait

00:46:00.539 --> 00:46:01.640
 didn't God say though

00:46:01.640 --> 00:46:03.340
 that on the day

00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:04.039
 they eat of it

00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:04.640
 they will die

00:46:04.640 --> 00:46:06.420
 how come they don't die

00:46:06.420 --> 00:46:09.079
 maybe Satan

00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:10.019
 was telling the truth

00:46:10.019 --> 00:46:10.880
 and God

00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:11.700
 was not telling the truth

00:46:11.700 --> 00:46:12.000
 of course

00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:12.860
 that's not the case

00:46:12.860 --> 00:46:15.240
 and Adam

00:46:15.240 --> 00:46:16.460
 will live

00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:17.420
 to a ripe old age

00:46:17.420 --> 00:46:18.539
 of 930 years

00:46:18.539 --> 00:46:19.980
 according to Genesis 5-5

00:46:19.980 --> 00:46:24.300
 but the formula

00:46:24.300 --> 00:46:25.579
 you shall not

00:46:25.579 --> 00:46:26.579
 do something

00:46:26.579 --> 00:46:27.700
 for you shall

00:46:27.700 --> 00:46:28.360
 surely die

00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:29.300
 is the formula

00:46:29.300 --> 00:46:30.519
 for divine threats

00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:31.380
 in the Old Testament

00:46:31.380 --> 00:46:32.599
 so it's really

00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:33.980
 a sentencing

00:46:33.980 --> 00:46:35.340
 it's a legal

00:46:35.340 --> 00:46:36.140
 sentencing

00:46:36.140 --> 00:46:36.880
 so if that's

00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:37.599
 what's in view

00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:38.200
 then it means

00:46:38.200 --> 00:46:38.700
 that the day

00:46:38.700 --> 00:46:39.400
 they eat of it

00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:40.500
 they will be sentenced

00:46:40.500 --> 00:46:41.480
 to death

00:46:41.480 --> 00:46:42.880
 consigned to death

00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:43.760
 and that is exactly

00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:44.380
 what happens

00:46:44.380 --> 00:46:45.800
 God says to Adam

00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:46.539
 in verse 19

00:46:46.539 --> 00:46:47.440
 by the sweat

00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:48.059
 of your face

00:46:48.059 --> 00:46:49.000
 you shall eat bread

00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:49.920
 till you return

00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:50.519
 to the ground

00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:51.260
 for out of it

00:46:51.260 --> 00:46:51.920
 you were taken

00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:52.860
 for you are dust

00:46:52.860 --> 00:46:53.480
 and to dust

00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:54.880
 you shall return

00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:56.840
 dust

00:46:56.840 --> 00:46:57.579
 the ground

00:46:57.579 --> 00:46:58.599
 is again

00:46:58.599 --> 00:46:59.159
 a word play

00:46:59.159 --> 00:46:59.860
 the word Adam

00:46:59.860 --> 00:47:00.900
 comes from the word

00:47:00.900 --> 00:47:01.860
 Hebrew word for ground

00:47:01.860 --> 00:47:03.539
 so the ground

00:47:03.539 --> 00:47:03.980
 is

00:47:03.980 --> 00:47:05.719
 the man was formed

00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:06.400
 from the ground

00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:07.440
 and then he was called

00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:08.619
 to cultivate the ground

00:47:08.619 --> 00:47:09.639
 and then when he dies

00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:10.319
 he will return

00:47:10.319 --> 00:47:10.920
 to the ground

00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:11.559
 the ground

00:47:11.559 --> 00:47:12.500
 the dirt

00:47:12.500 --> 00:47:13.940
 it's his cradle

00:47:13.940 --> 00:47:15.000
 it's his work

00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:16.380
 it's his grave

00:47:16.380 --> 00:47:19.119
 and so

00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:20.559
 while the physical death

00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:21.420
 doesn't come until later

00:47:21.420 --> 00:47:22.779
 the sentence comes

00:47:22.779 --> 00:47:24.679
 and the spiritual death

00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:25.779
 comes immediately

00:47:25.779 --> 00:47:28.420
 as I mentioned last week

00:47:28.420 --> 00:47:29.119
 the Garden of Eden

00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:30.719
 is a type of the future temple

00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:31.639
 I mentioned that to you guys

00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:31.799
 right

00:47:31.799 --> 00:47:32.980
 it represents the fullness

00:47:32.980 --> 00:47:33.880
 of God's presence

00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:35.159
 and unbroken communion

00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:35.659
 with him

00:47:35.659 --> 00:47:37.380
 and that's why the cherubim

00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:38.539
 now guards the entrance

00:47:38.539 --> 00:47:39.659
 and later the cherubim

00:47:39.659 --> 00:47:41.039
 guards the Lord's temple

00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:42.380
 the inner sanctuary

00:47:42.380 --> 00:47:42.920
 as well

00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:45.139
 and when Adam and Eve

00:47:45.139 --> 00:47:45.779
 then when they are

00:47:45.779 --> 00:47:46.739
 banned from the temple

00:47:46.739 --> 00:47:47.199
 of Eden

00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:48.179
 they're being banished

00:47:48.179 --> 00:47:48.880
 from the presence

00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:49.340
 of God

00:47:49.340 --> 00:47:52.199
 God who is the source

00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:53.139
 of all life

00:47:53.139 --> 00:47:53.699
 and they are

00:47:53.699 --> 00:47:54.480
 banned

00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:55.699
 they're severed

00:47:55.699 --> 00:47:57.599
 from his presence

00:47:57.599 --> 00:47:59.900
 and because only

00:47:59.900 --> 00:48:01.079
 in communion with him

00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:01.980
 we can have true life

00:48:01.980 --> 00:48:02.579
 eternal life

00:48:02.579 --> 00:48:03.759
 that's why Romans 5

00:48:03.759 --> 00:48:05.340
 speaks of condemnation

00:48:05.340 --> 00:48:07.099
 and separation from God

00:48:07.099 --> 00:48:07.800
 as death

00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:09.180
 that entered humanity

00:48:09.180 --> 00:48:11.400
 and an entailment

00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:12.560
 of that spiritual death

00:48:12.560 --> 00:48:13.500
 is physical death

00:48:13.500 --> 00:48:15.500
 which 1 Corinthians 15

00:48:15.500 --> 00:48:16.240
 talks about

00:48:16.240 --> 00:48:18.019
 physical death

00:48:18.019 --> 00:48:18.660
 is a symptom

00:48:18.660 --> 00:48:19.960
 of spiritual death

00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:21.880
 and all the genealogies

00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:22.620
 throughout the book

00:48:22.620 --> 00:48:23.039
 of Genesis

00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:23.660
 they're there

00:48:23.660 --> 00:48:24.420
 to bear witness

00:48:24.420 --> 00:48:25.120
 to this truth

00:48:25.120 --> 00:48:26.519
 Genesis 5.5

00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:27.360
 all the days

00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:28.120
 that Adam lived

00:48:28.120 --> 00:48:29.560
 were 930 years

00:48:29.560 --> 00:48:31.260
 and he died

00:48:31.260 --> 00:48:33.300
 Genesis 5.8

00:48:33.300 --> 00:48:34.019
 all the days

00:48:34.019 --> 00:48:34.480
 of Seth

00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:35.760
 were 912 years

00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:37.300
 and he died

00:48:37.300 --> 00:48:38.840
 Genesis 9.29

00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:39.620
 all the days

00:48:39.620 --> 00:48:40.000
 of Noah

00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:41.240
 were 950 years

00:48:41.240 --> 00:48:43.220
 and he died

00:48:43.220 --> 00:48:45.160
 everyone dies

00:48:45.160 --> 00:48:45.960
 in the book

00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:46.420
 of Genesis

00:48:46.420 --> 00:48:50.260
 Satan didn't tell

00:48:50.260 --> 00:48:50.620
 the truth

00:48:50.620 --> 00:48:51.300
 God did

00:48:51.300 --> 00:48:54.820
 so then

00:48:54.820 --> 00:48:55.360
 according to

00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:55.700
 Genesis

00:48:55.700 --> 00:48:56.380
 sin

00:48:56.380 --> 00:48:57.620
 is the main

00:48:57.620 --> 00:48:58.420
 problem of the world

00:48:58.420 --> 00:48:59.260
 that underlies

00:48:59.260 --> 00:49:00.300
 all our problems

00:49:00.300 --> 00:49:00.940
 you saw how

00:49:00.940 --> 00:49:01.640
 it alienated

00:49:01.640 --> 00:49:02.860
 humanity from God

00:49:02.860 --> 00:49:04.000
 and alienated

00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:04.480
 humanity

00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:05.539
 from themselves

00:49:05.539 --> 00:49:06.559
 one another

00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:07.599
 and it alienated

00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:08.360
 them from the rest

00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:09.039
 of creation

00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:10.240
 all creation

00:49:10.240 --> 00:49:10.880
 now he says

00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:11.220
 in Romans

00:49:11.220 --> 00:49:12.140
 is groaning

00:49:12.140 --> 00:49:13.440
 in Romans 8.22

00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:14.720
 in the pains

00:49:14.720 --> 00:49:15.539
 of childbirth

00:49:15.539 --> 00:49:17.579
 the creation

00:49:17.579 --> 00:49:18.440
 is disorder

00:49:18.440 --> 00:49:19.539
 something is amiss

00:49:19.539 --> 00:49:20.380
 about the world

00:49:20.380 --> 00:49:21.880
 and that

00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:23.360
 fearful prospect

00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:24.360
 should make a shudder

00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:25.320
 of being eternally

00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:26.059
 shut out from

00:49:26.059 --> 00:49:26.680
 God's presence

00:49:26.680 --> 00:49:27.559
 the light of the world

00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.519
 but there is still

00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:30.900
 hope

00:49:30.900 --> 00:49:32.880
 then we turn

00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:33.500
 to the cure

00:49:33.500 --> 00:49:34.019
 for sin

00:49:34.019 --> 00:49:36.619
 verse 21

00:49:36.619 --> 00:49:37.260
 hints at this

00:49:37.260 --> 00:49:37.559
 it says

00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:38.579
 the Lord God

00:49:38.579 --> 00:49:39.660
 made for Adam

00:49:39.660 --> 00:49:40.780
 and for his wife

00:49:40.780 --> 00:49:42.320
 garments of skins

00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:43.639
 and clothed them

00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:45.780
 now I don't think

00:49:45.780 --> 00:49:47.300
 that the animal skin

00:49:47.300 --> 00:49:47.840
 is given here

00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:48.539
 to Adam and Eve

00:49:48.539 --> 00:49:49.840
 is pointing to

00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:51.079
 the sacrificial system

00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:51.440
 because there is

00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:52.340
 no mention of blood

00:49:52.340 --> 00:49:53.420
 and you don't use

00:49:53.420 --> 00:49:53.860
 the skin

00:49:53.860 --> 00:49:55.019
 in the sacrificial system

00:49:55.019 --> 00:49:56.720
 but I do see

00:49:56.720 --> 00:49:57.559
 God graciously

00:49:57.559 --> 00:49:58.820
 clothing Adam

00:49:58.820 --> 00:49:59.300
 and Eve

00:49:59.300 --> 00:50:00.300
 their shame

00:50:00.300 --> 00:50:01.400
 and their nakedness

00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:03.019
 which is a result

00:50:03.019 --> 00:50:03.480
 of sin

00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:04.100
 and I think

00:50:04.100 --> 00:50:04.920
 it foreshadows

00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:05.620
 how God

00:50:05.620 --> 00:50:06.200
 will eventually

00:50:06.200 --> 00:50:07.560
 cover all our sin

00:50:07.560 --> 00:50:08.800
 and shame

00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:10.560
 clothing was one

00:50:10.560 --> 00:50:10.960
 of the most

00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:12.019
 significant markers

00:50:12.019 --> 00:50:12.920
 of social standing

00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:13.900
 in the ancient Near East

00:50:13.900 --> 00:50:16.200
 and in the Bible

00:50:16.200 --> 00:50:16.980
 in the Old Testament

00:50:16.980 --> 00:50:18.140
 especially the expression

00:50:18.140 --> 00:50:19.160
 clothed them

00:50:19.160 --> 00:50:20.740
 is used in only

00:50:20.740 --> 00:50:21.460
 two ways

00:50:21.460 --> 00:50:22.780
 the first way

00:50:22.780 --> 00:50:23.840
 is of king

00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:24.460
 clothing

00:50:24.460 --> 00:50:26.100
 his honored subjects

00:50:26.100 --> 00:50:27.560
 and secondly

00:50:27.560 --> 00:50:28.780
 it's of the priests

00:50:28.780 --> 00:50:29.700
 being clothed

00:50:29.700 --> 00:50:30.820
 in their sacred vestments

00:50:30.820 --> 00:50:32.820
 so when God

00:50:32.820 --> 00:50:34.100
 clothes Adam and Eve

00:50:34.100 --> 00:50:34.500
 here

00:50:34.500 --> 00:50:36.360
 it looks ahead

00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:36.980
 to those things

00:50:36.980 --> 00:50:37.460
 and in fact

00:50:37.460 --> 00:50:38.140
 Moses wrote

00:50:38.140 --> 00:50:39.340
 these books

00:50:39.340 --> 00:50:40.840
 himself

00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:42.080
 so he has them

00:50:42.080 --> 00:50:42.500
 in view

00:50:42.500 --> 00:50:44.560
 God's restoring

00:50:44.560 --> 00:50:45.220
 Adam and Eve

00:50:45.220 --> 00:50:45.840
 in a sense

00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:46.480
 saying

00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:47.900
 no I still have

00:50:47.900 --> 00:50:48.920
 covenant with you

00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:49.800
 I still have

00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:51.019
 relationship with you

00:50:51.019 --> 00:50:52.360
 and you are still

00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:53.700
 called to represent me

00:50:53.700 --> 00:50:54.800
 on earth

00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:56.840
 in Galatians 3

00:50:56.840 --> 00:50:57.200
 27

00:50:57.200 --> 00:50:57.900
 later says

00:50:57.900 --> 00:50:58.260
 that we are

00:50:58.260 --> 00:50:59.039
 to put on

00:50:59.039 --> 00:50:59.620
 Christ

00:50:59.620 --> 00:51:00.539
 like a garment

00:51:00.539 --> 00:51:01.780
 his righteousness

00:51:01.780 --> 00:51:02.980
 this points

00:51:02.980 --> 00:51:03.720
 to that ultimate

00:51:03.720 --> 00:51:04.800
 reality

00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:06.840
 verses 15

00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:07.220
 and 20

00:51:07.220 --> 00:51:07.960
 point even more

00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:08.940
 clearly to Christ

00:51:08.940 --> 00:51:09.800
 verse 20

00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:10.039
 says

00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:10.820
 the man called

00:51:10.820 --> 00:51:11.640
 his wife's name

00:51:11.640 --> 00:51:12.120
 Eve

00:51:12.120 --> 00:51:13.280
 because she was

00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:13.740
 the mother

00:51:13.740 --> 00:51:14.880
 of all living

00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:16.380
 her description

00:51:16.380 --> 00:51:16.980
 as the mother

00:51:16.980 --> 00:51:17.980
 of all living

00:51:17.980 --> 00:51:19.000
 is recalls

00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:19.500
 the promise

00:51:19.500 --> 00:51:20.220
 of offspring

00:51:20.220 --> 00:51:20.980
 in Genesis 3

00:51:20.980 --> 00:51:21.440
 15

00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:22.500
 where God

00:51:22.500 --> 00:51:23.560
 curses the serpent

00:51:23.560 --> 00:51:24.060
 and says

00:51:24.059 --> 00:51:24.739
 I will put

00:51:24.739 --> 00:51:25.500
 enmity between

00:51:25.500 --> 00:51:26.619
 you and the woman

00:51:26.619 --> 00:51:27.420
 and between

00:51:27.420 --> 00:51:28.259
 your offspring

00:51:28.259 --> 00:51:29.619
 and her offspring

00:51:29.619 --> 00:51:31.139
 he shall bruise

00:51:31.139 --> 00:51:31.779
 your head

00:51:31.779 --> 00:51:32.759
 and you shall

00:51:32.759 --> 00:51:34.019
 bruise his heel

00:51:34.019 --> 00:51:36.179
 I mentioned to you

00:51:36.179 --> 00:51:36.799
 earlier that there is

00:51:36.799 --> 00:51:37.619
 a deeper theological

00:51:37.619 --> 00:51:39.139
 sense to this verse

00:51:39.139 --> 00:51:40.519
 because the serpent

00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:41.279
 of course

00:51:41.279 --> 00:51:42.019
 is not just

00:51:42.019 --> 00:51:42.619
 an animal

00:51:42.619 --> 00:51:44.199
 but he represents

00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:44.699
 Satan

00:51:44.699 --> 00:51:46.239
 the devil

00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:47.619
 as Revelation 12

00:51:47.619 --> 00:51:48.000
 9

00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:49.279
 describes God's

00:51:49.279 --> 00:51:50.000
 decisive victory

00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:50.519
 of Satan

00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:51.000
 and he says

00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:51.900
 that the great

00:51:51.900 --> 00:51:53.119
 dragon was thrown

00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:53.599
 down

00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:54.759
 that ancient

00:51:54.759 --> 00:51:55.500
 serpent

00:51:55.500 --> 00:51:56.799
 who is called

00:51:56.799 --> 00:51:57.319
 the devil

00:51:57.319 --> 00:51:58.319
 and Satan

00:51:58.319 --> 00:51:59.099
 the deceiver

00:51:59.099 --> 00:51:59.940
 of the whole world

00:51:59.940 --> 00:52:00.839
 he has thrown

00:52:00.839 --> 00:52:01.619
 down to the earth

00:52:01.619 --> 00:52:02.179
 and his angels

00:52:02.179 --> 00:52:02.619
 were thrown

00:52:02.619 --> 00:52:03.480
 down with him

00:52:03.480 --> 00:52:05.219
 so whether a serpent

00:52:05.219 --> 00:52:05.819
 was actually

00:52:05.819 --> 00:52:06.420
 possessed

00:52:06.420 --> 00:52:07.880
 by Satan

00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:08.239
 here

00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:09.139
 in Genesis 3

00:52:09.139 --> 00:52:09.739
 or merely

00:52:09.739 --> 00:52:10.539
 personifies

00:52:10.539 --> 00:52:11.239
 Satan

00:52:11.239 --> 00:52:11.699
 there is

00:52:11.699 --> 00:52:12.619
 satanic

00:52:12.619 --> 00:52:13.159
 influence

00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:13.440
 here

00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:14.559
 and when we

00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:15.119
 consider this

00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:15.559
 we can see

00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:16.719
 that chapter 3

00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:17.259
 verse 15

00:52:17.259 --> 00:52:18.079
 is looking

00:52:18.079 --> 00:52:19.460
 ahead to a long

00:52:19.460 --> 00:52:20.219
 struggle between

00:52:20.219 --> 00:52:20.699
 humanity

00:52:20.699 --> 00:52:22.000
 and the forces

00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:22.480
 of Satan

00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:23.379
 the fight

00:52:23.379 --> 00:52:24.439
 between humanity

00:52:24.439 --> 00:52:25.299
 and sin

00:52:25.299 --> 00:52:25.859
 and evil

00:52:25.859 --> 00:52:27.939
 and in this

00:52:27.939 --> 00:52:28.719
 pronouncement

00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:30.059
 humanity has

00:52:30.059 --> 00:52:31.159
 decisive advantage

00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:32.059
 because

00:52:32.059 --> 00:52:33.299
 serpent will

00:52:33.299 --> 00:52:33.759
 bruise

00:52:33.759 --> 00:52:34.699
 his heel

00:52:34.699 --> 00:52:35.859
 but he

00:52:35.859 --> 00:52:36.559
 will bruise

00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:37.219
 his head

00:52:37.219 --> 00:52:40.179
 and the pronoun

00:52:40.179 --> 00:52:41.119
 used is he

00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:42.599
 referring to

00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:44.059
 a son

00:52:44.059 --> 00:52:45.460
 and this

00:52:45.460 --> 00:52:46.319
 may be why

00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:49.000
 this is why

00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:50.200
 throughout Genesis

00:52:50.200 --> 00:52:51.539
 the genealogists

00:52:51.539 --> 00:52:52.140
 have a prominent

00:52:52.140 --> 00:52:52.460
 role

00:52:52.460 --> 00:52:53.800
 because Moses

00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:54.380
 is intentionally

00:52:54.380 --> 00:52:55.420
 tracing the

00:52:55.420 --> 00:52:56.019
 line of the

00:52:56.019 --> 00:52:56.260
 woman

00:52:56.260 --> 00:52:58.680
 to say that

00:52:58.680 --> 00:52:59.100
 the offspring

00:52:59.100 --> 00:52:59.559
 is going to

00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:00.140
 eventually lead

00:53:00.140 --> 00:53:00.680
 to that future

00:53:00.680 --> 00:53:01.160
 Messiah

00:53:01.160 --> 00:53:02.760
 but not only

00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:03.000
 that

00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:03.860
 we just went

00:53:03.860 --> 00:53:04.100
 through the

00:53:04.100 --> 00:53:04.780
 gospel of John

00:53:04.780 --> 00:53:05.140
 you guys

00:53:05.140 --> 00:53:05.840
 remember how

00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:07.000
 Jesus always

00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:07.539
 refers to

00:53:07.539 --> 00:53:08.019
 himself as

00:53:08.019 --> 00:53:08.600
 the son of

00:53:08.600 --> 00:53:08.900
 man

00:53:08.900 --> 00:53:10.519
 and he

00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:11.620
 awkwardly calls

00:53:11.620 --> 00:53:12.080
 his mother

00:53:12.080 --> 00:53:12.740
 woman

00:53:12.740 --> 00:53:14.039
 right

00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:15.400
 it's probably

00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:15.820
 a reference

00:53:15.820 --> 00:53:16.220
 to this

00:53:16.220 --> 00:53:16.619
 as well

00:53:16.619 --> 00:53:17.200
 right

00:53:17.200 --> 00:53:20.579
 he is the

00:53:20.579 --> 00:53:20.880
 son of

00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:21.099
 man

00:53:21.099 --> 00:53:21.780
 promised

00:53:21.780 --> 00:53:22.260
 who will

00:53:22.260 --> 00:53:22.539
 come

00:53:22.539 --> 00:53:23.280
 to bruise

00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:24.059
 the serpent's

00:53:24.059 --> 00:53:24.460
 head

00:53:24.460 --> 00:53:30.180
 so Romans

00:53:30.180 --> 00:53:31.160
 5 summarizes

00:53:31.160 --> 00:53:31.740
 this in a

00:53:31.740 --> 00:53:32.639
 real amazing

00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:32.860
 way

00:53:32.860 --> 00:53:33.059
 he says

00:53:33.059 --> 00:53:34.160
 sin came

00:53:34.160 --> 00:53:34.519
 into the

00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:34.780
 world

00:53:34.780 --> 00:53:35.380
 through one

00:53:35.380 --> 00:53:35.700
 man

00:53:35.700 --> 00:53:36.260
 and death

00:53:36.260 --> 00:53:37.079
 through sin

00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:37.940
 and so death

00:53:37.940 --> 00:53:38.780
 spread to all

00:53:38.780 --> 00:53:39.280
 men because

00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:40.059
 all sin

00:53:40.059 --> 00:53:41.260
 and then he

00:53:41.260 --> 00:53:41.480
 says

00:53:41.480 --> 00:53:42.320
 Adam was a

00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:42.980
 type of the

00:53:42.980 --> 00:53:43.420
 one who was

00:53:43.420 --> 00:53:43.840
 to come

00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:45.039
 for if many

00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:45.680
 died through

00:53:45.680 --> 00:53:46.260
 one man's

00:53:46.260 --> 00:53:46.800
 trespass

00:53:46.800 --> 00:53:47.519
 much more

00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:47.840
 have the

00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:48.360
 grace of

00:53:48.360 --> 00:53:48.660
 God

00:53:48.660 --> 00:53:49.140
 and the

00:53:49.140 --> 00:53:49.800
 free gift

00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:50.200
 by the

00:53:50.200 --> 00:53:50.680
 grace of

00:53:50.680 --> 00:53:51.120
 that one

00:53:51.120 --> 00:53:51.420
 man

00:53:51.420 --> 00:53:51.720
 Jesus

00:53:51.720 --> 00:53:52.280
 Christ

00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:53.200
 abounded

00:53:53.200 --> 00:53:54.019
 for many

00:53:54.019 --> 00:53:55.800
 therefore as

00:53:55.800 --> 00:53:56.660
 one trespass

00:53:56.660 --> 00:53:57.120
 led to the

00:53:57.120 --> 00:53:57.780
 condemnation

00:53:57.780 --> 00:53:58.260
 for all

00:53:58.260 --> 00:53:58.559
 men

00:53:58.559 --> 00:53:59.320
 so one

00:53:59.320 --> 00:53:59.860
 act of

00:53:59.860 --> 00:54:00.280
 righteousness

00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:00.900
 leads to

00:54:00.900 --> 00:54:01.400
 justification

00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:02.780
 and life

00:54:02.780 --> 00:54:03.500
 for all

00:54:03.500 --> 00:54:03.920
 men

00:54:03.920 --> 00:54:04.900
 for as

00:54:04.900 --> 00:54:05.300
 by the

00:54:05.300 --> 00:54:05.840
 one man's

00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:06.400
 disobedience

00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:06.760
 the many

00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:07.240
 were made

00:54:07.240 --> 00:54:07.640
 sinners

00:54:07.640 --> 00:54:08.400
 so by

00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:08.860
 the one

00:54:08.860 --> 00:54:09.320
 man's

00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:10.220
 disobedience

00:54:10.220 --> 00:54:10.600
 the many

00:54:10.600 --> 00:54:10.920
 will be

00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:11.140
 made

00:54:11.140 --> 00:54:11.500
 righteous

00:54:11.500 --> 00:54:12.519
 so that

00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:13.039
 as sin

00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:13.460
 reigned

00:54:13.460 --> 00:54:14.099
 in death

00:54:14.099 --> 00:54:14.500
 grace

00:54:14.500 --> 00:54:15.260
 also might

00:54:15.260 --> 00:54:15.579
 reign

00:54:15.579 --> 00:54:15.860
 through

00:54:15.860 --> 00:54:16.300
 righteousness

00:54:16.300 --> 00:54:17.260
 leading to

00:54:17.260 --> 00:54:18.280
 eternal life

00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:19.159
 through Jesus

00:54:19.159 --> 00:54:20.019
 Christ

00:54:20.019 --> 00:54:20.860
 our Lord

00:54:20.860 --> 00:54:21.800
 Jesus

00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:22.559
 is the

00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:23.039
 second

00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:23.599
 Adam

00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:24.380
 he's the

00:54:24.380 --> 00:54:24.719
 new

00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:25.380
 and better

00:54:25.380 --> 00:54:25.760
 Adam

00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:26.519
 who fulfills

00:54:26.519 --> 00:54:26.980
 God's

00:54:26.980 --> 00:54:27.340
 intention

00:54:27.340 --> 00:54:28.039
 for humanity

00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:28.699
 he's the

00:54:28.699 --> 00:54:28.980
 one that

00:54:28.980 --> 00:54:29.519
 succeeds

00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:30.219
 where Adam

00:54:30.219 --> 00:54:30.679
 had

00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:31.300
 failed

00:54:31.300 --> 00:54:34.639
 remember

00:54:34.639 --> 00:54:35.219
 John 20

00:54:35.219 --> 00:54:35.599
 31

00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:35.960
 we said

00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:36.219
 Jesus

00:54:36.219 --> 00:54:36.480
 is the

00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:36.780
 Christ

00:54:36.780 --> 00:54:36.920
 the

00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:37.039
 son

00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:37.179
 of

00:54:37.179 --> 00:54:37.340
 God

00:54:37.340 --> 00:54:37.599
 and by

00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:38.000
 believing

00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:38.559
 we may

00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:38.739
 have

00:54:38.739 --> 00:54:39.219
 life

00:54:39.219 --> 00:54:39.840
 in his

00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:40.199
 name

00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:42.159
 we

00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:43.219
 forfeited

00:54:43.219 --> 00:54:43.939
 our access

00:54:43.939 --> 00:54:44.679
 humanity

00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:45.019
 did

00:54:45.019 --> 00:54:45.759
 to the

00:54:45.759 --> 00:54:45.960
 tree

00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:46.480
 of life

00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:46.980
 through

00:54:46.980 --> 00:54:47.439
 sin

00:54:47.439 --> 00:54:48.500
 and

00:54:48.500 --> 00:54:49.099
 Jesus

00:54:49.099 --> 00:54:50.179
 offers

00:54:50.179 --> 00:54:51.119
 us

00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:51.500
 eternal

00:54:51.500 --> 00:54:51.919
 life

00:54:51.919 --> 00:54:52.319
 through

00:54:52.319 --> 00:54:52.719
 his

00:54:52.719 --> 00:54:53.139
 death

00:54:53.139 --> 00:54:53.439
 on a

00:54:53.439 --> 00:54:53.659
 tree

00:54:53.659 --> 00:54:54.239
 the

00:54:54.239 --> 00:54:54.439
 tree

00:54:54.439 --> 00:54:54.559
 of

00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:54.679
 the

00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:55.079
 cross

00:54:55.079 --> 00:54:57.899
 and

00:54:57.899 --> 00:54:58.099
 when

00:54:58.099 --> 00:54:58.319
 we

00:54:58.319 --> 00:54:58.559
 turn

00:54:58.559 --> 00:54:58.839
 away

00:54:58.839 --> 00:54:59.099
 from

00:54:59.099 --> 00:54:59.299
 our

00:54:59.299 --> 00:54:59.739
 sins

 salvation

00:55:02.439 --> 00:55:03.019
 that's

00:55:03.019 --> 00:55:03.219
 when

 be

00:55:08.699 --> 00:55:09.099
 assured

00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:11.139
 they

00:55:11.139 --> 00:55:11.260
 will

00:55:11.260 --> 00:55:11.400
 be

00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:11.680
 raised

00:55:11.680 --> 00:55:11.960
 again

00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:12.139
 when

00:55:12.139 --> 00:55:12.400
 Christ

00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:12.840
 returns

00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:16.460
 that's

00:55:16.460 --> 00:55:16.740
 the

00:55:16.740 --> 00:55:17.059
 hope

00:55:17.059 --> 00:55:18.599
 we

00:55:18.599 --> 00:55:18.980
 can't

00:55:18.980 --> 00:55:19.280

 only

00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:34.400
 way

00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:34.559
 we

00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:34.680
 can

00:55:34.680 --> 00:55:35.139
 seek

00:55:37.420 --> 00:55:37.880
 creation

00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:38.240
 way God

00:55:38.240 --> 00:55:38.579
 intended

00:55:38.579 --> 00:55:38.900
 it to

 be

00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:39.759
 only

00:55:39.759 --> 00:55:40.099
 way

00:55:40.099 --> 00:55:40.519
 God's

00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:40.880

 the

00:55:47.460 --> 00:55:47.799
 Christ

00:55:47.799 --> 00:55:48.099

 he

00:55:49.699 --> 00:55:50.139
 forms

00:55:50.139 --> 00:55:50.440
 with

 God

00:55:51.179 --> 00:55:52.079
 so

00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:52.219
 the

00:55:52.219 --> 00:55:52.460
 world

00:55:52.460 --> 00:55:52.679
 is

00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:53.279
 disordered

00:55:53.279 --> 00:55:53.519
 by

 our

00:55:54.059 --> 00:55:54.559
 rebellion

00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:54.980
 and

00:55:54.980 --> 00:55:55.099
 we

00:55:55.099 --> 00:55:55.219
 can

00:55:55.219 --> 00:55:55.599
 reorder

00:55:55.599 --> 00:55:55.779
 our

00:55:55.779 --> 00:55:56.139
 worship

00:55:56.139 --> 00:55:56.360
 of

00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:56.599
 God

00:55:56.599 --> 00:55:56.719
 in

 relationship

00:55:57.139 --> 00:55:57.420
 with

00:55:57.840 --> 00:55:58.460
 only

00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:08.460
 for

00:56:08.460 --> 00:56:08.739
 us

00:56:08.739 --> 00:56:08.940
 that
